Kohn Elected FilmLA Board Chairman

San Fernando Valley accountant Mel Kohn was elected as the new chairman of the board of directors of FilmLA, the not for profit agency that coordinates the permitting process for on-location filming. Kohn is the first non-entertainment industry professional elected to chair the board. He is managing partner of Kirsch, Kohn & Bridge, in Encino. Kohn joined the board in 2005 after serving on the financial audit sub-committee. “Mel brings more than 30 years of senior-level business and management experience, as well as in-depth knowledge of our communities developed by years of civic involvement,” said FilmLA President Steve MacDonald. “In addition, the fact that his experience lies primarily outside the film production industry has helped provide a more balanced perspective to the board.” The 25-members board is made up of representatives of major studios, independent production companies, entertainment industry unions and guilds, local neighborhoods and production-related vendors.
