Longtime movie and television workers in Hollywood are struggling to find work — as the once bustling entertainment industry in Los Angeles is suffering. The causes are varied — a combination of COVID lockdowns, wildfires, and economic policies making it cost prohibitive to shoot movies in the once entertainment mecca. Now movie shoots and jobs are moving to other states like Texas and Georgia — and even overseas where it is much cheaper to film. Will new tax incentives bring the jobs back to California? Or is Tinseltown dead forever? Brian Entin Investigates the quiet movie studios, talking to struggling workers, and interviews Mel Gibson about the dramatic changes.
