Alarcón asked for a study on giving a "Film Friendly L.A." card to industry workers who could get discounts of at least 10 percent from businesses who sign up for the program.

"This is something that you have to constantly do to market the city to the industry," Alarcón said. "We don't know how many vendors would sign up for it, but I think once they see it can increase their business, they will be eager to enroll."
