@sonnybunch… would love to send you a DM with a bit of background and people to talk to about foreign and domestic film subsidies/credit and past ideas to seek countervailing tariffs as redress for US-based film workers.

For reasons you cite above, GOP has not previously been inclined to help Hollywood studios. Yet Democratic administrations also sided with the studios over below-the-line film workers.

Ultimately a national film production subsidy would be just another government handout to five ultra highly capitalized corporations

(Edit: Eight, supposing you include Apple, Amazon, and Netflix along with the five legacy Hollywood studios)
