Together, we’re building a united front to support jobs and keep the film and television industry here where it belongs. We’re making progress because the people who work in this industry every day are stepping up and speaking out.
My motion, adopted by the City Council on April 29, 2025, called on all relevant agencies to make recommendations for streamlining the film permitting process and eliminating regulatory obstacles to film and television production in Los Angele. These recommendations will be compiled in a report from the Chief Legislative Analyst’s office. That report will give us facts, figures, and some definite proposals, but our policy will be grounded in the lived experience of the working people who make movies and TV in Los Angeles.
I’ve been meeting face-to-face with rank-and-file union members. Hearing their experiences firsthand will help us make policy that reflects the actual realities they face in production and on location. These conversations are crucial to our process, so if you're part of a union, guild, or industry group and want to meet with me, please reach out to Valerie Fang (valerie.fang@lacity.org) at my office.
I want to thank everyone who has participated in this effort so far. Let’s keep the momentum going. Keep Hollywood Home!
