On-campus film and media productions will not be permitted during the Fall 2020 semester. This includes all campus buildings, parking lots, athletic fields, dorms, the Natural Lands, and grassy communal areas.
For off-campus film and media productions, you must comply with all New York State requirements related to Media Productions and COVID-19. You will be required to review the content in the following section: View Summary Guidelines (PDF). Following your review of these guidelines, you are expected to prepare a Safety Protocol Document that addresses each location/day scheduled in your shoot/production and that provides detailed plans for how you will satisfy the "Mandatory" requirements for safety for each location.
We recognize this will involve additional work on the part of the Producers/Safety Managers for each film/media shoot; however, this is a MANDATORY NYS requirement to which the College and its students must comply. If the appropriate Safety Protocol Document is not provided, the shoot will NOT be permitted to move forward. We thank you for your understanding and assistance with the process and view this as an additional educational opportunity for our students. The Safety Protocol Document must be emailed to the following: riskmanagement@ithaca.edu, rgearhart@ithaca.edu, publicsafety@ithaca.edu, and mharmon@ithaca.edu.
