New Congressional Caucus Adds Momentum to Push for a Federal Film & TV Incentive

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has formed the Congressional American Film & TV Production Caucus, adding momentum to efforts to establish a federal incentive for film and television production in the United States. The Hollywood Reporter’s coverage draws on ProdPro intelligence to show the production trends behind the push for federal action.

The formation of the caucus comes as U.S. production faces increasing competition from international markets offering incentives to attract projects. ProdPro’s production tracking provides a broader view of that shift, measuring where film and television projects are being made and how production activity is changing across markets.

That data is particularly relevant to the policy discussion because the challenge extends beyond individual states. While U.S. production hubs have expanded their own incentive programs, countries including the U.K. and Canada continue to compete for major productions with national programs.

ProdPro gives the industry a way to measure those changes against a consistent production baseline. Its data can show how U.S. production compares with activity in competing markets, providing context for discussions about jobs, spending and the economic impact of production moving between locations.

The new congressional caucus brings that industry data into a policy conversation focused on strengthening domestic production. As lawmakers develop a federal incentive, tracking actual production activity will be important for measuring whether new policies change where projects are made and how much investment returns to the U.S.

ProdPro provides the production intelligence to understand where film and television is happening and where it’s headed next.
