With over 60 TV directing credit to her name and bill, DGA President Lesli Linka Glads Know a thing or two about how the entertainment industry works. After getting its start to Steven Spielberg’s “Amazing Stories”, she continued working on shows like “Twin Peaks” “Zero day” on Netflix. Her work has taken her all over the world, but when she puts it in A new interview in the Hollywood Reporterthere is nothing like doing art in Los Angeles.
However, after costs, as a result of the Covid-19-Pandemic and the consolidation in the wake of 2023, the WGA and Sag-Aftra strikes rise, as a result of the Covid-19-Pandemicemia. Production has been seriously reduced in City of Angels. Many people put the liability on the lean tax relief offered by the California government, and even if there is Efforts are ongoing to raise these numbersGlads believe that entertainment managers must also do their part.
“I get to the studios and networks try to make their show for a cost. But America, our narrative industry, the” Hollywood “icon, we can’t lose it,” said Glads. “We cannot lose and not support the work that has built Hollywood.”
What Glads points out is the growing trend for production costs that are compensated by postponing places that provide better tax incentives or where the work is generally cheaper and less protected by trade union rules. As appealing as this is for people responsible for keeping costs down, Glads does not believe that the entertainment industry should be defined by cheapness. She believes that if production is to return to Los Angeles, “studios and networks must be part of that solution.”
“I understand if you do a show based in Paris that you will not shoot in the Midwest,” said Glads. “But let’s try to keep things based in America in America. Let’s not shoot Los Angeles in Australia.”
Another huge reason why production must be strengthened in Los Angeles specifically right now, Glads told THR, depends on what the city has recently gone through in the wake of Social wilfires It destroyed the communities in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Glads lost his own home, but move forward with more zeal than ever.
“Because of what has been so harmful about the fires in LA, we have to keep the production here,” she said. “We have the best crew in New York, in LA and now in Atlanta. We have a fantastic production center in Chicago. We have to keep our storytelling company in America.”
