Homeless camps in Sacramento cleared for Leonardo DiCaprio movie filming

(FOX40.COM) - - Parts of Downtown Sacramento look clearer than usual as authorities eliminate homeless camps from Cesar Chavez Park amid scheduled recording for a new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor.

Over the previous couple of weeks, Warner Bros film team has actually been found throughout the area dealing with a movie described as the "BC Project." Although "Notice of Filming" signs were plastered throughout Downtown Sacramento in advance, the area has actually not been totally camera-ready.

Homeless camps are prevalent near Cesar Chavez Park, where some movie-filming is being done. The City of Sacramento authorities did something about it for the movie crew and placed notifications on camping tents on Friday that recommended campers they need to pack up and leave within 24 hours.

" Six tents were noticed in the recording location," stated City of Sacramento spokesperson, Tim Watson. "Through outreach and engagement from city resource organizers, people in the area were offered connection to services and positioning at the city's Roseville Road campus."

Watson stated that 4 campers accepted the city's offer.

Sacramento Homeless Union President Crystal Sanchez stated the city's most current move is just another circumstances of the City of Sacramento victimizing the unhoused population. She dealt with the producers of the movie in a ready statement:

" We hope they take a minute and understand the crisis of homelessness and that the film has significantly hurt some folks trying to endure this homeless crisis. We ask that the manufacturers are cognizant of the City of Sacramento's damaging action and would hope they address it with them."
