What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) California?
Greetings:
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question.
I'd like to author a DVD on Yosemite's 4 seasons and offer it on my website.
Yosemite N.P. requires film permit and insurance in order to film for profit. Based on my past experience, I expect to do no better than cover my expenses, so the expense of getting a film permit is huge (with insurance would be over $1,000.)
Is there a way for me to shoot the film and offer it on my site and get around the "for profit, commercial" filming? For example, what if I put it on the same DVD as another feature (A Grand Canyon Nature) and offered it for "free" or as "Bonus Feature" with purchase of the Grand Canyon film?
Thank you for any help.
Jon
