LeVar Burton, Alison Brie, Scott Derrickson Among Supporters of Petition Urging Increased Production Incentives Amid L.A. Fires


In the wake of the L.A. fires, proposals include uncapping the tax incentive for productions that shoot in L.A. county for the next three years.

“We were already deeply worried about the livelihoods of Los Angeles area cast and crew, not to mention the countless small businesses suffering from production moving out of state and overseas. We need a flood of new work to help our beloved city rebuild itself and ensure LA’s future viability as a place where craftspeople, film workers, and businesses thrive.” Each dollar spent on incentivizing production to stay in California creates $24.40 in new economic activity across all local businesses, $8.60 in wages and labor income, and $16.14 in increased GDP.”
