Actor Jon Voight met with President Donald Trump earlier this year to advocate for a federal tax credit aimed at boosting U.S. film and TV production.
The February 11 White House meeting is part of Hollywood's effort to stem the flight of production overseas.
A White House spokesperson said Trump is "committed to Make Hollywood Great Again."
Voight, along with Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, was named a special ambassador to Hollywood in January 2025.
He is working with the Motion Picture Association, Directors Guild of America, and unions.
SP Media Group CEO Steven Paul proposed a 20% federal tax credit for labor costs on U.S. productions.
An additional 5% could be earned for independent films or filming in disaster zones.
The goal is to make domestic production competitive with Britain and other countries.
According to ProdPro, U.S. filming declined 10% in Q1 compared to last year.
In September 2025, Trump floated a 100% tariff on movies made abroad.
California doubled its annual tax incentives to $750 million in June 2025.
