On-location film production in the greater Los Angeles area dropped by nearly 2 percent during the second quarter of 2015, but the results would have been worse if it were not for growth in scripted TV, particularly TV dramas. According to the latest statistics released Tuesday by FilmL.A., the non-profit that oversees filming in the city and county of Los Angeles as well as adjoining jurisdictions, overall production slipped by 1.9 percent in the second quarter of 2015 over the same period in 2014 to 9,396 shoot days. While feature film production increased by just 0.4 percent, commercial production skidded by 7.3 percent. Both categories are tracking down year-to-date and against their respective five-year averages.
