Hollywood Petition Urges Expanded Incentives to Keep Film Production in Los Angeles

Over 6,000 industry workers and stars call for uncapped tax credits and increased local production to aid recovery from devastating wildfires.

The #StayInLA petition has gathered over 6,700 signatures, including support from actors, directors, and writers like LeVar Burton, Alison Brie, and Julie Plec.
The petition proposes uncapping tax incentives for productions in Los Angeles County for the next three years to stimulate economic recovery following recent wildfires.
It also calls on studios and streaming platforms to commit to increasing local production by at least 10% over the next three years.
Signatories emphasize the significant economic impact of local film production, citing data that each dollar spent generates $24.40 in economic activity and supports 1,500 jobs daily.
The effort is backed by grassroots organizations CA United and The Union Solidarity Coalition, urging state and city leaders to implement emergency measures to protect jobs and small businesses.
