There was an enthusiastic crowd to maintain the production of Los Angeles at home and highlight the blue -collar workers working in the cinema industry from the topics driving to stay in Los Angeles.
Holded by SirRreel Studio Services, hundreds of people met on April 6 in Sun Valley, California, to pay attention to the GOV proposal. Newsom to increase the state movie incentive to $ 750 million a year. Speaking speakers, including the executive “The Pitt”, the Simran Baidwan mayor, Borbank Nikki Perez, the association’s man, Rick Chavez, mobilized for support to AB 1138 and SB 630, which would raise the incentive and expand qualified production types.
Before taking the theater, tell Zbur diverse Although he feels “grateful” to support AB 1138 so far, he admits that he is “sad” that gatherings like staying in Los Angeles must occur in the first place.
“The reason we managed to obtain hundreds of people here on Sunday afternoon is that people have seen these jobs enticed by other countries.” “This is our iconic industry. It defines California. We have to protect what we invented and what is our son -in -law.”
The lawmakers also raised the topic of a movie incentive at the country level-a long goal of entertainment unions-instead of relying on the mixture of each case separately to compete with other countries. Representative Sydney Kamel-Daf, de Los Angeles, said it is important to “raise the issue” in the Congress of federal aid.
“The World Cup is coming. The Olympics come here. These are global productions,” said Kamel Duffy. “If you want to make America great again, make America produce again. We have to help our colleagues on the other side of the corridor he likes this administration.”
Kamlageer-Dove also put pressure on the most distinguished actors in the industry to defend Los Angeles.
She said, “Often, people think of the famous A-will be fine,” she said. “They have the impact and the ability to force production to stay here. But if you do not have those who practice this type of effect, we will see that production goes to New Zealand and Mexico. This hurts us.”
Representative Luz Rivas, a Democrat from the San Fernando Valley, indicated that there are many “competing priorities” for federal financing, with forest fires that are recently destroyed in southern California among other urgent concerns.
“I mean they are all important, right? There are many things that are equally important,” said Rivas. “As legislators, we enter the battles … but these are jobs and if people lose them, people will leave the state.”
Staying in Los Angeles is not the only alliance fighting to increase tax incentives, with the production alliance in California and the maintenance of Rolling California also pressure on legislators. Pamala Bozik Kim, co -chair of California United and co -founder of Stay in Los Angeles, stressed the importance of staying in competition when making decisions of the site.
She said: “I don’t think we are trying to be the best tax incentives from everywhere because we do not have the same economy as some of these places.” “We must have tax incentives to do enough to keep us in the conversation.”
The local captain of the Teamsters 399 Lindsay Dougherty team added, which is the continuation of “aggression” and “armed” and not allowing the battle to stop.
“If we lit it a little, then this is enough time and money that goes to another place and then build a working force in the infrastructure outside California,” Dujeriti said. “This is when we face a problem.”
