Lawmakers launch new bipartisan caucus to boost U.S. film and TV production
Representatives from both parties announced the creation of a new Congressional American Film & TV Production Caucus on Wednesday.
New group aims to increase domestic output
Six representatives gathered to form this specific organization dedicated to supporting American movie and television work. The members include Brian Jack, Laura Friedman, Nathaniel Moran, Linda Sánchez, Nicole Malliotakis, and Tom Suozzi. They stated that the group will join hundreds of similar affinity groups already operating within Congress.
Leaders cite studio presence in their districts
Brian Jack noted his district contains Trilith Studios and represents the workers who build sets and operate equipment. He expressed honor in co-founding the caucus and working with colleagues to achieve legislative goals. The group distinguishes itself from a separate entertainment caucus led by other representatives announced at the same time.
Efforts align with executive branch requests
Jack praised the President for calling on Congress to find solutions that bring production back to the United States. The new caucus seeks to gather lawmakers who share interests in this specific industry sector. This initiative arrives as a coalition of groups focuses on these domestic manufacturing and creative challenges.
