L.A. Location Shoots Dropped by 22% in Q1 2025 Amid Fires, but ‘Impact on Local Filming Levels Appears to Have Been Temporary’
L.A. location shoots plummeted by 22% in Q1, but fires had little effect on production.
After a promising end to 2024 where production had increased by 6.2%, on-production shoot days in the Greater Los Angeles area declined by 22.4% from January through March 2025, according to FilmLA ‘s latest report. With global production in decline, industry stakeholders are focused on Governor Gavin Newsom’s call to expand the California Film & Television Tax Credit Program. FilmLA supports the expansion of California’s film incentive to $750 million or more per year, including proposed changes to make the program more internationally competitive through bills SB630 (Allen) and AB1138 (Zbur / Bryan).
