U.S. Production Incentive Has 'Uplifts' To Sweeten Deal, Steven Paul Says

A U.S. tax credit for film and television production is circling four potential uplifts of 5% each: for economically depressed areas; independent films; repatriating films to the U.S.; and shooting in multiple U.S. jurisdictions.

“Those are the four being talked about,” says producer Steven Paul, who’s been working with President Donald Trump’s Ambassador to Hollywood Jon Voight and lawmakers and industry groups on the bipartisan legislation aimed at curbing runaway production.
