Ted Sarandos Calls on French President to Add Above-the-Line Costs to Film Incentive at Choose France Event


Netflix boss Ted Sarandos was one of the few top U.S. players invited by Macron to take part in the 8th edition of Choose France in Paris.

Netflix boss Ted Sarandos was one of the few top U.S. players invited by Macron to take part in the eighth edition of Choose France, a summit dedicated to promoting the country’s attractiveness to draw investments. “There’s been a slowdown of production everywhere and if we want to stay competitive with countries like Italy and the U.K., we need to put this in place because it will benefit our entire economy and ecosystem, including crew members and talent pool and make sure that all the infrastructure we’re building in France will be of use,” Benoliel continued. Benoliel, who is producer on the series, joked to Macron (who made headlines when he told Variety about his determination to have the show stay in France last October) that he was going to pick up Collins in Rome to make sure she’ll return to Paris.
