Crew, assistants, stages, vendors — the people who built their careers in Los Angeles’ once‑thriving commercial production industry — have watched their work steadily disappear through no fault of their own. Not because their craft isn’t world‑class, but because LA is no longer being included on bids.

State tax incentives and local permit reform will be critical to making LA competitive again. Efforts are underway but this change won't happen overnight. With the industry at a critical breaking point, our focus is on what we, as a community, can do NOW.

Your support underscores that you believe LA deserves to be included, considered, and put back on the bid sheet — and that you’ll do everything in your sphere of influence to ensure LA gets a fair shot at every opportunity. 

Because if LA isn’t on the bid sheet, we don’t get the visibility to compete, to close the gaps, or to rebuild what’s been lost. Simply being included is a win — and it’s the first, essential step our namesake calls for.
