California's Film Industry: The Current Situation
For the last 100 years, California led the world in film, television and commercial production.
A passion for cinema, sustained over generations, built a thriving entertainment economy and established Greater Los Angeles as the world’s foremost creative capital.
That legacy is at risk! Dozens of motivated and innovative competitors are spending handsomely to out-compete California in new film project attraction.
Loss of this high-skill work threatens hundreds of thousands of creative careers and billions of dollars in economic benefits for our state.
We need not stand by and watch the Golden State lose its luster.
Our Objective
is a thriving film economy in California, whose economic, civic and cultural contributions are widely understood and celebrated.
Expanding Support for California's Film Industry
Since its creation in 1995, FILML.A., INC® has worked to streamline filmmaker access to the communities of Greater Los Angeles. Over decades of devoted service to the region, FilmLA become one of the leading advocates of a sustainable, film-friendly future for California. Modest investments in independent research, issue advocacy and public education have significantly advanced that goal.
To widen our work in these areas, the FilmLA Foundation was formed.
