Actor Jon Voight and manager Steven Paul are set to meet President Trump to propose ideas aimed at revitalizing US film and TV production. Their recommendations extend beyond typical state film tax credits and might include incentives for infrastructure investments and job training. Amid declining production in the US, they emphasize the need for federal tax incentives to counter international competition, highlighted by growth in countries like the UK and Australia. Their initiatives might focus on adjusting US tax codes to better support the industry.
It's important that we compete with what's going on around the world so there needs to be some sort of federal tax incentives, Paul said in an interview.
Their approach includes national initiatives that would help the US win business that might have gone overseas, Paul said.
Some countries, including the UK, Australia, Hungary and Spain, have seen their film and TV business climb in recent years.
Voight's group has met with studio executives, union representatives and state officials to solicit their thoughts.
