Studio zone

Studio zone

Studio zone (also thirty-mile zone) is a term used in the American entertainment industry to describe the area within a thirty-mile (48.3 km) radius from the intersection of West Beverly Boulevard and North La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. In addition, the studio zone includes the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Conejo Ranch property, although it technically lies outside of the zone's radius.

Entertainment industry unions use this area to determine rates and work rules for union workers in the entertainment industry. For instance, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes contracts state::"Studio rates and working conditions shall prevail for all work performed within the studio zone; however, for newly-called employees and those employees notified on the previous day prior to their departure from the studio (or the zone location) to report at the zone location, work time shall begin and end at the zone location; otherwise, work time shall begin and end at the studio. Such work time includes travel time both ways between the studio and the zone location." [cite web | title = The 2003 -- 06 Contract | url = http://www.iatselocal80.org/nss-folder/thecontract/03%20Contract.pdf | accessdate = 2007-06-10 ]

"Studio rates" are generally lower than "distant location rates," which would need to be paid (in addition to travel time and mileage) for work outside the studio zone.

The initials of the Time Warner tabloid news Web site TMZ.com stand for "Thirty Mile Zone," an alternate name [" [http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=slanguage_result&slang=30-mile+zone&x=0&y=0 Slanguage] ," Variety.com.] for the studio zone.

Quotes

*"In the film and TV locations business, contrary to the tenets of astrophysics, there actually is a center of the universe and it's at the corner of La Cienega and Beverly boulevards. Where the Beverly Center meets the Beverly Connection is the dead center of Hollywood's so-called Studio Zone." —Christopher Grove, "Variety" [Grove, Christopher. " [http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117856151.html?categoryid=1353&cs=1 Small-screen scouts eye underexposed corners: Dressing the town for international looks] ." "Variety", 2001-11-05.]
