I’m writing a script that involves a chase scene through the canals and narrow streets of Venice. I’m trying to determine if it’s actually feasible to film something like that without completely disrupting the city or running into insurmountable logistical challenges. Is it even possible to get the necessary permits for such a sequence? What are some of the biggest obstacles to consider? Any insights from filmmakers who have attempted similar scenes in Venice? What about equipment and the safety of all involved? I’d like to know if it’s a dream or reality.
