Hollywood’s Post-Production Jobs at a Crossroads | Oakland News

Hollywood’s post-production workers are rallying behind Governor Gavin Newsom, urging him to sign a landmark bill that could bring their jobs back to California. Assembly Bill 2319 offers a powerful tax credit—up to 50%—for visual effects, editing, and sound work, even if filming happens elsewhere. After years of losing talent to New York, Canada, and overseas, this legislation is seen as a lifeline for local crews struggling with job instability. With bipartisan support and a $10 million funding boost (down from $100 million), the bill signals California’s renewed commitment to keeping its creative engine humming. Newsom has until September 30 to decide—time’s running out for these essential Hollywood voices. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
