Saw someone on TV asked about this point and they said most movies are not made in Hollywood these days, just TV shows: sitcoms and the like.

Reminds me of Asops fable, “The Goose that laid the golden egg”.

That’s okay. The former African slaves will bring it back once they have all been made millionaires by the far-left, Dung Beetle turd rollers.

This only applies to films that receive a tax credit. I believe that for a film to receive the tax credit they have to have a budget of at least $1,000,000.

The Bill would not go into effect for 2 years:

This is, coincidentally, when the current film tax credit plan expires. So, presumably, this is tied to updating the tax credit plan.

Much ado about nothing.

Also, these rules are not entirely unreasonable in light of the Alec Baldwin/Rust shooting.

Just like DeSantis.

Torn on both to be honest.

This is how much a writer gets paid for the dreck you see on tv.
Many shows have many writers who cannot come up with anything entertaining yet they want more money to continue to do so.
____________________________

The minimum salary for a TV writer-producer is between $206,480 and $259,420 on a 35-40 week contract. Streaming writers typically have 20-24 week contracts and make a minimum between $148,240 and $177,888.
For a network show, the median writer works 29 weeks and takes home a $131,834 salary.

In California, this is poverty wages.

~~~~~

Alec Baldwin’s murder of his camera woman was no industrial accident, and could not have been cured by industry rule changes. There were two motives:

1. Spurned attempted lover.

2. Just like so many mass murders lately, an attempt to vilify firearms and firearm owners.

Baldwin is just that evil .....criminally insane.
