President Sean Astin sent members of Congress a letter urging them to co-sponsor and pass the Motion Picture, Television and Entertainment Revitalization Act as part of our efforts to protect the legacy and future of the industry. Read his letter: ow.ly/W4C15101VKb

More production in the United States = an additional 100,000+ full-time jobs yearly. It's time: our federal government needs to step up and offer a Federal Film & TV Production Incentive. Let Congress know you support this incentive: actionnetwork.org/letters/mo….

Attendees at the IATSE Officer Institute in Denver are walking the walk! They are sending letters to their legislators in support of the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act (MPTERA) H.R. 10582 / S. 5552, which would create a federal incentive to help bring film and television production, and the good union jobs that come with it, back to the United States. They are also inviting their local kin to do the same! Join them and contact your reps today: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

The real stars of Hollywood are the production workers who build the sets, hang the lights, and keep shoots running. I was proud to stand alongside them to voice how important this jobs bill is for our local economy.
Let’s get this passed and bring production home.

Actress @CherylHines is advocating for tax incentives to bring Hollywood productions back to the U.S. and the jobs that come with them.
“When you’re watching a movie or TV show, for every one person you see on screen, there are thousands of people working behind them… we need to bring it back here and create those American jobs.”

It’s time to bring film production back to America, save American jobs, and tell more American stories right here at home! #MakeFilmsInAmericaAct

LA County has felt the impact of fewer film and TV productions, from lost jobs to millions of dollars leaving our local economy.
That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the bipartisan Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act led by @RepFriedmanCA to create a national tax credit that brings productions and good-paying jobs back home.

My Opportunity Zones have already shown what’s possible when we unleash private investment in overlooked communities.
By encouraging film production in all corners of America, we can create jobs, attract new investment, and give more communities a chance to shine! #MakeFilmsInAmericaAct

A study released by @motionpictures finds that a federal film and TV production incentive could add nearly $250B to the U.S. economy from 2027-2035.
More production here means more jobs and investment in America's communities: bit.ly/4BgIb5E

When film production leaves America, movie stars still get their paychecks.
But the people who bring films to life - the four minutes of names scrolling during the credits - are the ones who pay the price.
My film bill supports the camera operators, makeup artists, construction workers, costume designers, caterers, and small businesses who make the magic happen! #MakeFilmsInAmericaAct

American audiences in the streaming era have more access to a wider variety of films and shows than at any time in history. Viewers decide when, where, and how to watch at different prices (including free ad-based options) that make sense for their families. That’s why more than 70% of Americans view streaming favorably (with even higher support among younger consumers and in communities of color) and nearly 75% think streaming services should be regulated the same or less than they are today. Adding blunt government mandates into the greenlighting process will only dampen production and discourage creative risk-taking – winding back the clock on decades of streaming-powered progress. nytimes.com/2026/10/14/busin…

Let’s reinvest in American workers and American industry. A Federal Film & TV Production Incentive is needed today. Right now. You can help by telling congress you support the Motion Picture, Television and Entertainment Revitalization Act: actionnetwork.org/letters/mo…

The film and television industry is one of America’s greatest exports. Congress must act to keep good union jobs here at home. America’s unions urge Congress to pass the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act. aflcio.org/about/advocacy/le…

We have never been closer to passing a federal film tax incentive and bringing the movie magic back to America.
Nowhere will that be felt more than in the backyard of California’s film and television industry, Los Angeles County.
With the support of the White House and both sides of the aisle, and from the unions and the moviemakers who deliver the magic to our theaters, I am hopeful we can finally get this done.
Asjia Garner retweeted
This bill is extremely important to send a message that American storytelling does not just happen in California or New York. It happens all over America, including rural America.

Congress recently introduced the bipartisan Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act (MPTERA).
This is a federal incentive that, if passed, would help bring film and television jobs back to the United States. Major entertainment unions and organizations strongly support the legislation and are pushing for Congress to pass it.

MPTERA is a federal entertainment industry incentive that, if passed, will help level the playing field, bring film and television jobs back to the United States, and strengthen opportunities for entertainment workers.
For more than a year this legislation has been the top priority for the IATSE federal agenda. Already members, allies, and partner organizations have sent over 20,000 letters to Congress urging passage before the end of 2026. But we need more. Follow the link and join the effort!
