Trump and Adam Schiff Find Common Ground on Plan to Revive Hollywood Jobs
Trump and Schiff back a federal production credit as Hollywood groups support a plan to bring film and TV jobs back from overseas.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass a federal film tax incentive to revive domestic production, with Senator Adam Schiff, a Democratic California senator, expressing "strong agreement" and calling for bipartisan action to recover entertainment jobs.
- Trump's call followed discussions with Special Ambassador to Hollywood Jon Voight, who emphasized that production is migrating to Canada and abroad, arguing federal intervention is vital to compete for jobs.
- Draft legislation proposed by Schiff includes a 15% credit on U.S. labor costs, while Voight's allies have pushed for a 20% federal tax credit, though the administration has not yet specified the exact structure.
- Motion Picture Association CEO Charles Rivkin called the federal incentive a "landmark step" to restore production, as studios like Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios have long sought such interventions to maintain competitiveness.
- This collaboration represents an unusual political convergence between the two longtime adversaries, who previously clashed during the 2019 impeachment, as both now focus on revitalizing the industry to restore its status as the world's primary motion picture capital.
