A-Listers Join Stay in LA Campaign, Boosting Production Support

The 'Stay in LA' campaign is gaining momentum as Hollywood A-listers unite to boost film production in Los Angeles following recent wildfires. Launched by Alexandra Pechman and Sarah Adina Smith, the initiative has garnered over 15,000 signatures from prominent figures like Keanu Reeves, Bette Midler, and Olivia Wilde, advocating for new incentives to keep productions in the area. The campaign calls for uncapping tax incentives for productions in LA County for three years and urges studios to pledge at least 10% more production in the city during that period. Supporters emphasize that revitalizing the local film industry is crucial for economic recovery and community rebuilding. The campaign seeks collaboration from California's political leaders to implement these measures amidst the ongoing recovery efforts. Overall, the goal is to reinforce Los Angeles as a cultural hub and support local businesses impacted by the wildfires.
