A true crime series for Hulu that’s filming in Effingham has prompted a commissioner to say the county needs an ordinance regulating filming locations.
Phil Kieffer said he learned that “The Act” was being filmed in his district when 14 building facades were set up for background scenes and neighbors complained about vehicles speeding by their houses to reach the set.
“Because Effingham County doesn’t have a process in place to directly permit and regulate film locations, they were only required to secure a building permit for temporary structures that are in place,” Kieffer said. “They have been amenable to working around the complaints from the neighbors, which has included hiring off-duty officers to help.”
