If it's public property, some cities or counties will require some kind of a permit. If you are shooting crowds, or what they call b-roll, there should not be an issue. If someone doesn't want you to point the camera in their direction, you point it somewhere else. If it's private property, then you should get permission.
Most of the filming would be done in people's homes or private property with permission.
Usage of the film has a little something to do with it too. This would not be a for profit production, and would be made available online for free. It would be nice to arrange a showing when it's done. The logistics are to be determined as I flesh it all out.
