Lawmakers and film industry leaders push for federal production tax credit
Reps. Laura Friedman and Brian Jack are drafting a federal film and TV production tax incentive bill expected this month, reportedly offering a 20% credit with bonuses up to 30%. Industry leaders and unions joined lawmakers at a press conference citing competition from over 120 international production tax breaks. A Motion Picture Association study found a federal tax break could increase U.S.-based production by 13%.
