A new measure proposed by Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) seeks to make filming movies and television shows near the U.S. Capitol a bit easier.

Do you enjoy movies and television shows ostensibly set in Washington yet are filled with 400-foot tall office towers and the storefronts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill and Mount Vernon? Maryland has good news for you.

The House Appropriations Committee approved today an amendment that would continue to permit film production companies to continue to shoot in Union Square.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton would like the U.S. Capitol and its surrounding office buildings to become more friendly toward visitors from Hollywood. She’s asking her colleagues to allow film production on more parts of the Hill.

Union Square, which some feared would be closed off to film production after jurisdiction over it was transfered from the National Park Service to the Architect of the Capitol, will remain open to commercial photography and filmmaking.
