Save L​.​A. Film! Boost Los Angeles Tax Incentives

The Issue

We urge Senators to strengthen federal film incentives to stack with CA incentives, and bring production back to Los Angeles.

Sign this petition to make your voice heard and provide a crucial lifeline to our suffering L.A. economy.

Los Angeles, the heartland of film, houses top tier talent and state-of-the-art facilities. However, these defining features of our city are under threat.

L.A. film is on the brink of collapse following an onslaught of crises - COVID-19, labor strikes, and now, the ravaging wildfires. These events not only impact the industry but threaten the livelihood and families of tens of thousands of people.

Massive international and out-of-state tax incentives have lured productions away from Los Angeles to countries like Canada and the U.K. and states like Louisiana and New Mexico. The time has come to make the economics of filming in L.A. sustainable for studios.

According to a study from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, our film industry supports 927,000 jobs and contributes over $500 billion to our economy annually. Los Angeles stands to lose this crucial piece of our local economy if we do not act urgently.

Bring production back to Los Angeles!
