FAQ

Do I need special permits for Wynwood shoots?

Public areas: Miami-Dade film permit (1-3 days advance). Private gallery or building exteriors: owner authorization first, then permit. Street closures: longer permit timeline. Local production companies navigate this routinely.

Are there mural copyrights to consider?

Yes. Major murals have artist copyrights. Commercial use without authorization can lead to legal action. Production companies maintain artist relationships and clear murals before shooting. Don't shortcut this step.

How does Wynwood compare to Miami Beach for fashion?

Miami Beach: classic Miami aesthetic, ocean lighting, vacation luxury. Wynwood: contemporary aesthetic, urban energy, art credibility. Different fashion brand stories choose differently. Many campaigns mix both.
