Hilton on tax credits during the CNN gubernatorial debate
The dream of living in California and Los Angeles is a powerful magnet, drawing ambitious creatives and dreamers from around the globe. This desire isn’t just about sunshine and sprawling landscapes; it is deeply rooted in the creative opportunities offered by the entertainment industry.
Recognizing this powerful draw, gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton has called for a strategic shift in how the Golden State and the federal government support the film and television sectors. In his remarks, Hilton suggested that the current approach to financial incentives needs to be adjusted to better reflect the demand for creative investment.
Hilton argued that rather than attempting drastic measures, the path forward is pragmatic: the state and federal governments simply need to match the best available incentives to attract and retain the industry that thrives in the region.
This focus on competitive incentives is designed to ensure that California remains the most attractive location for the talent and production companies that shape global media. By aligning state and federal policies, the goal is to create an environment where the creative energy flowing into L.A. and the broader state is fully supported, allowing the Golden State to capitalize on its unique creative assets.
