Hollywhoops - How TV and Film Left LA (with Tommy Dewey and Helen Estabrook)
Description
What happens when an industry town loses its industry? America saw it happen with auto manufacturing in Detroit in the 20th century, and now, it appears something similar may be happening to the film and television industry of Los Angeles. Once synonymous with the biz itself, "Hollywood" is rapidly losing its status as the entertainment capital of the world. As film and TV productions flee to cheaper shooting locations, many Angelenos who moved to LA to chase their Hollywood dreams are left wondering if Hollywood is ever coming back to LA. We'll discuss runaway production, tax credits, Trump film tariffs, and everything else Hollywood with two of our favorite people in the biz... actor/writer Tommy Dewey and producer Helen Estabrook.
