This episode tackles the fallout from President Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign production—from the perspective of a Ian Poake navigating uncertainty in Hollywood. We unpack how a 100% tariff on work done outside the U.S. could drive up production costs, scare off greenlighters, and threaten countless jobs in pre- and post-production. Hear why these policies, despite aiming to “bring Hollywood home,” risk alienating international partners, stalling new projects, and sparking market volatility. Our guest shares firsthand concerns about the ripple effects on acting opportunities, the global supply chain, and the delicate balance of tax credits that once lured crews abroad. Whether you’re an actor, filmmaker, or industry insider, this conversation delivers a clear-eyed analysis of policy impacts and offers strategies to advocate for a sustainable creative economy.

In this episode, we report on Texas’s newly expanded film and TV incentive program, which commits $150 million annually through 2035. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the legislation to boost production grants by $100 million every two years, bringing total subsidies to $1.5 billion. Eligible projects with budgets over $1.5 million can receive 25 % of qualified in-state spending, plus additional uplifts for rural shoots, veteran hires, workforce development, and faith-based or family-friendly content. The program requires 60 % of shooting to occur in Texas and gradually raises the in-state crew threshold to 50 % by 2031. Funded through insurance and franchise taxes, the law also gives the Texas Film Commission authority to reject projects that portray the state negatively. With endorsements from Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Taylor Sheridan, Texas positions itself as the next major U.S. production hub.TAGSTexas film incentives, film subsidies, Hollywood South, media coast, Greg Abbott, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Taylor Sheridan, film production, cash grants, insurance tax, franchise tax, rural film grants, veteran hiring, workforce development, faith-based films, family values content, Texas film office, budget threshold, in-state crew, production incentives, state subsidies, film legislation, film locations, production tax incentives, TV production, grant qualifications, Texas filmmaking, production relocation, creative finance, podcast episode KeywordsTexas film incentivesHollywood South Texasfilm production subsidiesGreg Abbott film grantTexas media coast incentives
In this episode, our guest breaks down how posting acting clips on TikTok completely transformed their career. After their first videos went viral, they received overwhelming fan support and realized the power of a social media presence. By sending those clips directly to managers—including the team at Entertainment Lab—they secured representation and ultimately booked a Broadway role. We discuss the importance of taking control of your own publicity, shifting perceptions among friends who only knew you in another field, and using TikTok as a tool to build confidence in front of an audience. Learn why you shouldn’t wait for opportunities to find you, how vulnerability can become your greatest asset on camera, and practical strategies every actor can apply today to turn viral moments into real-world auditions.Target KeywordsTikTok acting successviral acting clipsBroadway audition TikTokEntertainment Lab manageractor TikTok strategiesTags: TikTok, acting, viral video, Broadway, auditions, Entertainment Lab, fan support, social media strategy, career transformation, self-tapes, vulnerability, actor branding, content creation, digital marketing, performance tips, audience engagement, viral strategy, manager outreach, creative confidence, social proof, career pivot, video marketing, acting tips, online presence, Broadway booking, actor hustle, TikTok growth, casting director, industry insights, coach spotlightHashtags: #TikTokActing #ViralClips #BroadwayAudition #EntertainmentLab #ActorBranding #FanSupport #SocialMediaStrategy #SelfTapes #PerformanceTips #ContentCreation #DigitalMarketing #CreativeConfidence #ManagerOutreach #AudienceEngagement #CareerTransformation #VideoMarketing #CastingDirector #IndustryInsights
n this episode, we explore the rise of AI in Hollywood through the lens of actors and artists. We discuss the promise of AI tools—like virtual readers for self-tapes—and how they could free creatives to focus on their craft, but also warn of the risks when AI replaces human storytelling. Our guest stresses the need for diverse ethical oversight in AI development, drawing parallels to how Facebook’s unintended global impact stemmed from a lack of diverse perspectives at creation. Learn why we need more “naysayers” guiding AI’s creative applications, where to draw the line between useful automation and creative displacement, and how tech-savvy actors can advocate for their future.
