  • Is the “we” in this Canada or Mexico or something?

    I’m not following. If Trump’s incoherent ramblings are to be generously interpreted, he wants all production to move back to the states. Currently many countries, and states, have huge tax incentives and other government handouts to encourage filming on their ground. If they all go back to that states, the American Companies lose that free foreign money, and depending on how it all shakes out, states will still be paying out tax incentives. At least for awhile as the industry finds a new home.

    That’s all extremely hypothetical to try and understand Trump.


  • Canadian working in film over here. All our bosses fly in from the states, the company is American (usually with a temporary Canadian corporation underneath that will dissolve after the project) and half the actors and art talent are from the states.

    And to address the propaganda angle, we are usually telling American stories anyways. Right now I’m working on a show about Muhammad Ali… All the set dressing is American…

    But I did sneak some Roberson screws into a set. So hopefully the word gets out to the American people. You don’t have to live under the tyrant Phillips, we have a better way.
