US EditionNoah Wyle Tells Hearing that 'The Pitt' Shows TV and Film Production in the US Can Be Revived
U.S. film jobs fell by 42,000 in Los Angeles County from 2022 to 2024, prompting calls for a federal tax credit to boost domestic production and compete globally.
- On Friday, Senator Adam Schiff convened a hearing in Burbank with actor Noah Wyle and union leaders to advocate for a federal film tax credit, aiming to reverse the exodus of American productions moving overseas.
- Los Angeles County lost over 41,000 film jobs between 2022 and 2024, Schiff highlighted, as the U.S. share of global production plummeted from 52% to 38% during the same period.
- Wyle testified that 'The Pitt' serves as proof of concept for domestic production, noting state tax incentives helped the series generate nearly 600 jobs and an estimated $125 million economic impact for California.
- The proposed Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery dominated discussion, with lawmakers warning that further consolidation could threaten American jobs and the future of domestic film production.
- Matthew Loeb, president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, warned that without comprehensive federal policy response, the U.S. risks losing its position as global entertainment leader.
