The actors strike may be looming on the horizon, but television production companies have been stepping up filming TV shows and pilots in Los Angeles.

Permits issued between May 21 and June 24 increased to 119 from 37 during the same period last year, or 222 percent, according to FilmL.A. Inc., the agency charged with processing filming permits throughout the county. And location permits for filming TV pilots jumped 150 percent during the same period.

FilmL.A. attributes the increase to the writers’ strike, which delayed production, and the fear of an actors’ strike, which speeded it up.

There was also increased activity in feature film production around Los Angeles.

Permits issued for feature films were up 12 percent compared with the same five week May-June period last year.

Permits for reality TV filming rose to 86 during the same five-week period this year, compared with 54 last year.
