Restrictions & Notes

Small shoots only. Every booking runs under a LUME safety plan agreed before the shoot date.

A spotter is posted on the Broadway sidewalk the whole time anyone is on the escape, keeping pedestrians from passing underneath.

Send your headcount and gear list in advance. Nothing goes out on the platform until we have approved it.
