<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than two weeks after President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on movies produced outside of the United States, Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass issued an executive order on Tuesday that she says will cut red tape and make it easier for entertainment professionals to film in her city.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The move comes after production has shifted dramatically toward different locations outside the city, including U.S.-based filming spots and foreign countries where it’s cheaper and easier to make movies and television shows.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are going to fight now,” Bass </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/movies/los-angeles-film-industry.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “While we push for the tax credits to be passed in Sacramento, we need to do what we can today to impact building in Los Angeles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The City is taking bold action to support our legacy industry,” she continued. “Keeping entertainment production in L.A. means keeping good-paying jobs in L.A., and that’s what we are fighting for.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Specific popular locations in L.A., which she says will be easier for filmmakers to access, include the Griffith Observatory, the L.A. Central Library, and the Port of Los Angeles, among others. The directive also reduces the number of city employees who must be on-site during filming down to one. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The move comes after President Trump made </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-movie-industry-is-dying-puts-plan-in-place-to-save-it"><span style="font-weight: 400;">headlines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> saying Hollywood was dying a &#8220;very fast death,&#8221; calling incentives from other countries to produce movies outside of the United States &#8220;a national security threat.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social earlier this month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands,” he added. “WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”</span></p>
