I attended a session on this topic a number of years ago at a SEMC meeting, I think in Norfolk.  As I remember, there was a representative speaking from a Virginia state film office who worked to promote filming in Virginia.  And, I believe someone from the Valentine Museum in Richmond and Old Salem in North Carolina who spoke about their experiences in renting out their space.
 
Sorry, I don't remember any of the names of the people on the panel.

Subject: film question

We have been approached to use one of our historic house museums for a four day film shoot.  It is a small budget student film, not a commercial venture.  I was wondering if other museums have policies with regards to filming and photographing, if you would be interested in sharing your policy with me.  Thanks!
