- Colleen Bell’s big interview on Variety’s podcast.
- The battle to keep film and TV jobs in California.
- Why ‘tax incentives’ are actually ‘jobs programs.’
- Our thoughts on the Hollywood vibe and future!
You won’t believe what we just heard! Colleen Bell, the boss of the California State Film Commission, spilled the tea on Variety’s ‘Strictly Business’ podcast. She’s really fighting for Hollywood. For its future.
It’s about getting all that TV and movie magic back to California. Right in its backyard. She’s had some wins, but boy, there are still hurdles.
Bell made it super clear. These tax incentives? They’re not just numbers. They are ‘jobs programs.’ That’s a huge vibe shift, right? Thinking about every film crew, every actor, every set designer.
We imagine the visual of active film sets. Cameras rolling. Lights flashing. That classic Hollywood aesthetic, alive and well. That’s what she’s pushing for.
She’s battling hard to make sure those roles stay here. So many people rely on them. It’s a real big deal for the Golden State.
Our Take
We think Bell totally gets it. It’s not just about blockbusters and red carpets. It’s about real people. Their livelihoods.
Keeping production here means families stay together. Communities thrive. And the unique visual storytelling that California is known for? It continues. We’re here for it!
