Trump calls for boost to film, TV production with tax incentives

Trump reportedly met with actor John Voight, who has supported a federal tax credit to strengthen the film and television industry in the United States, during a meeting with Trump in February.

To prevent entertainment production from moving overseas, Voight is collaborating with a group that includes the Motion Picture Association, the Directors Guild of America and unions representing actors and writers.
