So I come home from class today, only to find that there are signs all over my block from the lovely NYPD informing us that some people have decided to film a movie and decided to use our block for the filming. These lovely yellow signs informed us that we must move our cars by 8 pm on Monday and can't park during filming until July 11. Now, they've filmed before in my neighborhood, but never on my block, so I don't quite remember the logistics of it.
We have a driveway, and I can park on the driveway, but will the block be closed off so that I can't even get out of the driveway or back in when I'm done with class? One of my friends said if I show an ID, I should be alright. But here's the problem... I don't have an ID with this address, unless you count my passport. The address on my license is the one from when I moved into my apartment for school, right now, I'm in my parent's apartment. I'll be changing my address since I'm moving back for good later in the summer, but my parents are going on vacation and asked me to stay with the dog. So am I going to need to carry around my passport since it still has that address on it? Or will they just take my word for it? Or just not let anybody through at all? Has anyone had any experience with a movie being filmed on your block?
I have visions of myself having to get dressed up in the morning when I go to walk the dog in case I somehow end up on camera accidentally, I don't want to look like a mess. Not something I want to deal with when I need to be up at 6 am so I can walk the dog and still be able to leave by 7:30 so I can be on time for my 9 am classes.

Do they keep the trucks there all the time? If I leave for class earlier, would the trucks not be there yet? Or do they leave them there the entire week? The really annoying part is that my neighborhood is normally really hard to park in, so if I can't get to my driveway, finding a spot on the street somewhere, even a few blocks away, is really hard. I am really not happy about this. I have a feeling it will be a long week.
