Rob Lowe Urges a LA Film Comeback, Blaming Tax-Credit Gaps
Rob Lowe says it’s “criminal” that Los Angeles has ceded much of film and TV production to other states and countries, blaming the lack of above-the-line tax credits that reward salaries for actors, writers and directors. He notes other places offer incentives that attract big shows, though California has begun improving its incentives. Lowe was able to stay in LA to shoot his Sundance-released film The Musical, illustrating how incentives influence where filming happens.
