Mr. Robert Parente,
Paramount Pictures in association with Jennifer Lopez and UPN are undergoing preparations to
commence the location scouting and filming for the television series entitled "South Beach".
This Miami based television program will be an hour-long drama starring Vanessa Williams. Our
producers and writers goal is to create an "O.C." style show with a Miami backdrop.
We would like to discuss the possibility of filming on location in the City of Miami business and
residential regions. We plan to film twelve one hour-long episodes between the months of
August 2005 and January 2006.
As each new episode is filmed, we are presented with the opportunity to film a portion of the
show on location in Miami. Knowing the nature of episodic filming schedules, we sometimes are
not afforded enough preparation time to obtain filming variances for the project. It would be
extremely helpful to see if it were possible to obtain a variance prior to filming.
We would like to request permission to be added to the July 29, 2005 Miami Commission
Agenda to present our film proposal to request a filming variance for the run of the show.
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to working together. If you
have any questions or would like to meet to review this request please contact me on cell: 305-
582-2341 or email: Radscouteaol.com
