Trump backs national film tax credit to bring Hollywood production home

President Trump endorsed a federal tax incentive for film and TV production, urging bipartisan legislation to revive U.S. entertainment jobs and keep productions onshore. Advocates cite roughly 73,000 domestic production jobs lost since 2022 and a rise of global incentives, with proposals for a 15–20% labor-cost credit that would stack with state credits. The idea has backing from lawmakers like Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Laura Friedman and industry groups such as the MPAA, and is tied to advocates including Jon Voight who has been involved in lobbying for the measure.

The incentive would stack with state programs and has bipartisan support from lawmakers and industry groups, though its passage remains uncertain and Voight has kept a low public profile as talks continue and opponents like Sen. Adam Schiff show cautious engagement.
