Overview

  • Jon Voight, serving as a Special Ambassador to Hollywood, is working with his manager Steven Paul to develop proposals aimed at boosting U.S. film and television production.
  • The proposals include potential federal tax code adjustments, infrastructure incentives, and job training programs to counter competitive state and international production incentives.
  • Voight and Paul have consulted with studio executives, unions, and state officials, reflecting the industry's challenges from COVID-19, labor strikes, and declining California production.
  • While no formal meeting date with President Trump has been confirmed, the proposals are expected to be presented in the coming weeks.
  • Steven Paul has already begun relocating three of his upcoming film productions back to Los Angeles as part of the effort to revitalize Hollywood.
