Kevin Bacon, Keanu Reeves Lead #StayInLA Campaign Following Deadly L.A. Wildfires

Hollywood icons like Keanu Reeves and Kevin Bacon have banded together to launch the #StayInLA campaign, a movement urging California politicians to expand tax incentives for film and TV productions in Los Angeles. This initiative comes after devastating wildfires killed 29 people and displaced thousands, severely impacting the entertainment industry and local businesses. The Stay in LA petition, created by film and TV workers, has gained nearly 20,000 signatures. Supporters argue that incentivizing local production is crucial as job losses escalate, compounded by the fires. They call for uncapped tax incentives and a pledge from studios to increase local production by 10% over the next three years.
