California Roars Back as Film & TV Production Helps Drive Post-Pandemic Recovery
Film and TV production supports well over 700,000 jobs and nearly $70 billion in wages for California workers. While the COVID-19 pandemic tested the industry’s resilience like never before, I’m delighted to report that production is once again thriving across the Golden State.
Production is resuming with health and safety protocols that set the world standard. As it has throughout the pandemic, the California Film Commission is committed to working with the industry to ensure everyone involved in the production is protected from COVID-19. In this effort, it has been wonderful to see unprecedented cooperation and coordination between industry guilds and unions, producers, and public health officials to help get cameras rolling again.
As we emerge from the pandemic, the California Film Commission offers a range of services, including a comprehensive list of COVID-19-related production resources, to resolve any remaining disruptions and coordinate with state, local and federal entities.
We’re here to help!
