In this brief monologue, entertainment attorney Tisha Morris reports on a recent Hollywood Reporter article (March 19) highlighting the ongoing migration of film and TV production away from Los Angeles and California toward a broader set of U.S. locations—including Georgia, New York, New Mexico, Louisville (Kentucky), and North Carolina—as well as international sites where tax incentives are expanding. Morris reiterates her 2025 trend forecast that production will become increasingly decentralized, noting that while Los Angeles remains a major hub, the spread offers cost advantages and new opportunities, especially for independent filmmakers. She expresses personal affection for LA but emphasizes the practical benefits of the emerging, tax‑driven, multi‑regional model.

But we're gonna see more of this. I think it's good news for independent filmmakers. I love LA, live in LA, but you know, it's easier and cheaper
