Hollywood is saved

The state Senate and Assembly leadership have accepted Newsom’s proposed funding level, which more than doubles the program from $330 million. A vote is scheduled on Friday on a trailer bill to make it official, according to multiple sources.

Newsom first proposed the increase last October, in response to a dramatic downturn in film and TV production. It was among his top priorities in this budget cycle. The precise funding level has been in doubt until this week, as the terms of a budget agreement have come together.

The additional funding is projected to increase the number of film jobs supported by the program by 40-50%, according to the California Film Commission — or 4,400 to 5,500 jobs.

Legislators are still working on a companion bill, AB 1138, which will make the program more generous and make funding available to more types of productions. The bill will increase the tax credit received by each project from a base of 20% to 35%, with the potential to go up to 40% for filming outside of Los Angeles.

Not really. Completely leaving politics aside, this is a desperate attempt to try and bring film making back to Hollywood. You dont need to be in LA to make movies anymore.

>>212001224
>>212001192 (OP)
This is assuming people want to film in California. Even with these incentives, there are better options.

>>212001414
Funny part about all this is movies were made in Cali and not in NY because it was way cheaper. Now, nobody wants to film in either state because so damn much. Most movies that take place in NU are usually filmed in Toronto with scenic shots spliced in

>>212001224
Dude mad that Georgia stole a huge portion of his jobs and economy

>>212001255
Or one superhero movie

>>212001528
That's been going on for decades. The Toronto/NYC thing. The LA one is recent.

>>212001528
Its more than that, the studios themselves have become ridiculous to get a slot in to do anything. Georgia is willing, if you have the money, to build film sets down there, and get a tax credit for it. I'm drunk right now and it's more complicated obviously, but there is a reason all small films, and even major ones who need a new set end up filming there.

>>212001192 (OP)
Wow so they will almost help someone make 1 movie or 1 TV show!

>>212001737
I’ve heard that about Georgia. Add on, when movies stopped filming almost entirely in studios, LA is a terrible place to film. It’s a boring ass location.

>>212001192 (OP)
Not going to help. Its like putting a band-aid over a gushing arterial wound. Filming is fleeing California. They're devoting such a pitiful amount. Meanwhile the state has a 12-20 billion dollar deficit. They could cut off a state program that gave health care to illegal aliens. Instead they're raiding "rainy day" funds to spend 6 billion to keep the program alive this year, and 7 billion to keep it alive next year. They'd rather spent money on non citizens than prop up an industry that keeps money flowing into the state

>>212001803
It was great when it first started. Perfect spot for the golden hour, lots of westerns, plenty of space to build sets for other things. But later, it became more of a hub for getting people and connections. In this day in age, with the world getting much smaller due to the internet, you can hook up with people anywhere, you can film anything anywhere, it is far easier to travel. Nobody needs to film in LA, unless it is set in LA.

>>212001854
I want them to go fucking bankrupt. No pity and no mercy. All of California can eat shit. I hope the right-wing parts of the state secede as a response.

>>212001192 (OP)
No, the review bombing will continue. The lugenpresse will collapse.

>>212002216
Read the thread. That's not what this is about at all

Even for the smaller studios, this is barely anything to split. The is no reason to film in California. For the bigger studios this is nothing. I don't understand this. Nobody wants to film in California. I can't even call it a virtue signal. A virtue signal to save Hollywood, with $750 million? I truly do no understand this decision.

>>212001192 (OP)
>let's reignite a dying section of our states economy with the combined budget of elio and MI8
>2 movies
Yea. Fuck the fact nobody in the industry actually wants to film here. $750 million tax credits in the pockets of others, when it could of gone elsewhere. $750 million isnt even that much in the grand scheme of things, clearly just another move to keep the Hollywood money train running. 3500 jobs my ass.

This is a terrible attitude anon. Things can really just get worse and worse without any reckoning. Look at post colonial Africa. South Africa used to be a nuclear power and now they have weekly blackouts and are contemplating ethnic cleansing. Still no reckoning, nothings gotten better. Gotta fight for preserving things that are good.

>>212003329

It's mostly because of the gibs and permissive laws. Oregon and Washington have tons too.

>>212001414
Brainlet, what do you mean anymore? Hlproplenhave been making movies in Czech Republic since the 90s and now moved to Romania because it's cheaper

>>212001528
>>212001601
Correct. As one example CW was filming many of its series in Canada. They started that in the early 2000s

>>212001783
It's sad. The Wire, Sopranos and even Rome cost less than 500 million combined . Maybe eight season of Game of Thrones cost 750 million?

>>212003345
What series

>>212003467
South Africa turned itself into a Pariah State, by keeping most of the populace as poor wageslaves and keeping most of the affluence for the rich (((whites))). So of course now that there's ""equality"" (white flight with the amassed wealth) it's getting shittier and shittier.
That's how colonialism works.

>>212001346
70 low budget movies easily. Statistically at least a few will be successful, like Blair Witch Project or Clerks.

>>212003827
The same thing but in America.

>>212001192 (OP)
>Hollywood is saved
Nope. Film makers and studios alike will continue to find places outside of California to film, exactly because the state and cities are gouging the shit out of everything, as are the locals that own the would be film locations.
>permit costs
>insurance costs
>union mandates
>equipment rentals
>location fees
All that shit is way more expensive in California and makes filming there cost almost twice as much as places like Georgia, Texas, or Louisiana. California communist greed helped kill their film industry. Fuck em'.

I feel bad for Sacramento and the other actually decent parts of CA that have to be associated with L.A and San Francisco.

>$750 million
What a joke.

Meanwhile Georgia has no limit on their Film Tax credits. And has spent Tens of billions of dollars helping to fund TV and Movies.

As long as you meet all the requirements (filming in Georgia, hiring local Georgia crew, etc), then Georgia will pay 30% of your TV and Film's budget after 3 months of your production ending.

This has generated massive revenue for the state. Productions have flocked to Georgia and its helped the local economy immensely. Restaurants, businesses, stores, etc. All Benefit.

It's over California. $750 million is a joke.

>>212004419

>>212004448
It really is over for California. Not only does Georgia have far more incentives, as >>212004133 pointed out, it would still be absurdly expensive to film in Cali even with the tax breaks and funding.

Subsidies/gibs and free money is precisely why movies went to shit actually. When they're forced to work for their views they make better stuff.

>>212005550
It's TV shows that utilize Canada the most.

Issue with Hollywood is all the unions, location prices, permit requirements, etc. Every incompetent asshole in the chain wants to get fat once the cow is at their door which leaves nothing for the customer. Like all capitalist endeavors, movie making will follow the path of least resistance downhill and if they can get cheaper actors and locations with fewer regulations in Georgia then that's where they'll work

Good move by California. All the other countries that make movies already are at this level or even more generous with tax credits

>>212008757

I mean that American filmmakers used to shoot a lot in Czech Republic, but now they switched to Romania.

Famous movies made in Czechia:

Mission: Impossible (1996)

The Bourne Identity (2002)

Casino Royale (2006)

Famous movies made in Romania:

Cold Mountain (2003)

Youth Without Youth (2007)

The Nun (2018)

Simple as that.
