You have a good point. If the movie making was just a charade, you are probably right -- it might have been some kind of fraud.

If he actually was producing a film, even if it was just a short one or an advertisement, he probably was okay. But only through a loophole. :)

They probably don't care if you don't make the film (sometimes film-making fails), but certainly you wouldn't be allowed to sell shoes under this permit.

Bureaucracies arise because people take advantage -- rules are usually descriptive of what people did to cause problems in previous iterations.
