Stay in L.A. Rally Calls for Increased Tax Incentives to Keep Production Local: ‘This Is Our Iconic Industry’
Under the auspices of SirReel Studio Services, approximately 600 individuals convened on April 6 in Sun Valley, California, to bring focus to Governor Newsom’s plan to escalate the state film subsidy to a yearly allocation of $750 million. Keynote speakers such as Simran Baidwan, executive producer of “The Pitt,” Burbank Mayor Nikki Perez, and Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur mobilized backing for bills AB 1138 and SB 630. These legislative measures aim to augment the incentive and expand the range of productions eligible for consideration.
