I think that right now we're on life support.
We need a major rescue like immediately.
Why did it take so long for the political establishment to take this seriously?
Hollywood's business has been leeching away uh for the last three decades.
We have seen pain all over the city in every way.
I don't know if in a year, two years from now, we're going to be able to call it an industry because so much is left.
More than 80 production service businesses have closed in LA since 2022, and many industry workers have referred to the LA film exodus as production decimation.
How would you describe it?
I think that's a fair description.
Look, this has been building for 30 years.
Production these days is, you know, has a lot of it has left Los Angeles.
It's in Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Eastern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, uh, Atlanta.
Still, we neglected the competitive reality around us for decades and decades.
It is it is decimation.
And it's not just like the film rental companies, the production companies.
It's it trickles down to the restaurants, the the people supported by the industry here.
Um because it was an industry.
Sound stages are empty.
Some of them are starting to close and go bankrupt.
We're seeing a lot of vendors start to close, prop houses, uh, wardrobe houses, catering companies, and we're starting to see crews start to migrate to other production hubs.
People that were working, you know, 15 to 20 days a month on set are now working, you know, one to three, maybe five to 10 if they're lucky.
If you ask one of them, you know, have you worked lately?
You get a, you know, you get looked at like you're crazy.
Why are you asking that question?
You know, is it was that a rhetorical question?
Because we all know the answer, which is, you know, almost in most cases, no.
The world we invented 1878 in PaloAlto, California, the first cinematic images that the world we invented is now competing against us and that we've got to step up our game.
Governor Gavin Newsome recently touted his film and TV tax credit, which he says is helping bring Hollywood home.
He said it's projected to generate $6.6 6 billion in California production spending.
What's your reaction to that?
It's making some difference and likely to continue to make some difference, but the devil's in the details.
It would have been easier to keep the business here than it will be to claw it back with improved tax incentives in California because now you're competing against jurisdictions around the world that have built up their own infrastructure.
I think it it's too little too late.
The incentive has brought back some production.
It's keeping things going.
It's just not nearly enough when you're competing with so many other foreign countries.
I think it's a start, but I don't think it's enough.
Um, everyone who works in the industry understands California is the most expensive place to shoot and it's the most challenging place to shoot.
When I worked at the studios, we talked about it a lot.
What could we do to keep the show here?
And when you get to that place where you're just saving millions of dollars by going to some place other than California, there just aren't any other levers to pull.
They all have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.
Uh and I think that that's the party line.
We have a very sharpedged capitalist system and the studios are doing what businesses uh frequently do.
It's just a question of do they want to maintain the industry here where most of the actors live and where the infrastructure is or are they okay continuing to go overseas just to save a little bit?
Do you think California's production ecosystem and its dominance as um a filming location?
Do you think that can be rebuilt or do you think it's too late?
I think can be can be partially rebuilt.
I don't I don't think it's without hope.
Um, I think that expectations have to be tempered.
Uh, the idea that California is going to be the quasi exclusive home.
I mean, you know, it was California and New York basically were the were the homes of production.
Uh, we're not going back to those days.
There is some hope.
Um, but we still have a lot of really significant challenges.
I think it can get rebuilt.
Um, but action needs to happen immediately.
It needed to happen months ago.
Oh, I don't
