If you're walking your dog in Alamo Square or taking kids to the playground today, you may notice a film crew shooting on the southeast side of the park, as a new TV series called "Bazillion Dollar Club" has secured a permit to shoot between 7am and 7:30pm near the Painted Ladies.

Hosted by the SyFy channel, the show follows teams of startups as they move through an accelerator program in Silicon Valley, and focuses on the ups and downs of startups before they get funded. The production company behind the scenes is Zero Point Zero Production, whose name some may recognize from shows such as "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" and "The Mind of a Chef".

Running the Bazillion Dollar Club is Dave McClure, founder of 500 Startups. As he told TechCrunch last year, "These guys do the Anthony Bourdain show and we trust they’re not going to do all the in-the-gutter bullshit ... We’re not making 'The Real Housewives of Silicon Valley'. We have a fair shot to tell the real story and a fair shot to give these companies national exposure."

Alamo Square has been home to a number of film shoots in the past few years. In January, the eastern part of the park was shut down to the public while a California tourism spot was filmed by drones. Last spring, a show called "Murder In The First", starring Taye Diggs, was filmed in Alamo Square. And way back in 2011, Jason Segel and Emily Blunt graced our park's hilly slopes for the filming of "The Five Year Engagement".

Jim Jackson from the city's Permits & Reservations Division told us that the park will not be closed during filming, so you can carry on with normal sun-bathing activities in our balmy 67-degree heatwave today.
