Filming at Sloss

In This Section

Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark welcomes filmmakers from all skill ranges and backgrounds. If you are interested in using our site for any kind of film production, please read this policy carefully. Please note that this policy is not all-encompassing, and that each individual film shoot may have additional requirements and/or restrictions.

PROTOCOL FOR SCHEDULING A FILM SHOOT AT SLOSS

If you are interested in having a film shoot at Sloss, the following must be adhered to BEFORE we can confirm a date for the shoot:

  • You must meet with Ty Malugani, Education Coordinator, to discuss the project and walk through the areas you wish to have the shoot.
  • You must submit via email to tyler@slossfurnaces.org a full shoot plan including:
    • Number of people who will be on-site for the shoot (cast and crew)
    • Start and end time of the shoot (this includes load-in and load-out—these times are the earliest and latest times someone will be on-site)
    • Number, if any, of vehicles needing to park on-site (outside of normal parking areas)
    • If drones will be used during the shoot
    • Confirmation of areas of the site you wish to have the film shoot
  • You must provide a Certificate of Insurance that covers the entirety of the shoot while on-site.

Once these steps have been taken, we can confirm a film shoot on our site.

DRONE USAGE:

If drones will be used, drone operators must show proof that they passed The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) or show their Remote Pilot Certificate (both through the FAA) and show proof of registration of the drone with the FAA (whether through the registration form or the mark on the drone itself).
