Brown!https://www.ialocal871.org/About-Us/Local-871-News/PostId/1117/thank-you-gov-brownActivismMon, 07 May 2018 22:06:39 GMT<p>In 2014, when the California Legislature passed AB 1839 and Governor Jerry Brown signed it into law, the state of film and television production in California made a dramatic turnaround.<br /> <br /> We went from a total drain of production out of the state&mdash;and the severe job loss that went with it&mdash;to over 131 feature film and TV series produced of scheduled to be done under the California Film &amp; TV Tax Credit Program 2.0. $5.1 billion has so far been returned to the California economy.<br /> <br /> Senator Mitchell&rsquo;s bill, SB 951, <em>the California Film and Television Production Jobs Act,</em> by extending the current legislation, ensures that work for our members in their local communities will continue unabated.<br /> <br /> But numbers only tell a portion of the story. The best story can be told by the working men and women&mdash;and their families&mdash;who are the direct beneficiaries of your support. So, we are leaving it to them to speak for themselves.<br /> <br /> Please watch the video below to hear directly from the sets of TV shows and films that are part of the 2.0 program.</p> <p><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/RjZkU-i3SiU?rel=0" width="560"></iframe></p> 1117
