In a recent interview on Fox Business, Hollywood executive producer Michael Miller provided insights into the ongoing discussions around a Hollywood tax credit. California Governor Gavin Newsom has reached out to President Donald Trump, seeking federal support for the film industry through tax incentives. This move comes at a time when the industry is facing potential challenges from Trump’s proposed tariffs on films produced overseas. Miller highlighted the significance of these tax credits for the local economy and job creation in California, emphasizing the need for a stable and supportive environment for filmmakers.
The conversation also touched on the broader implications of these tariffs, as discussed by Jeff Sica of Circle Squared Alternative Investments.
