Work for Los Angeles studio musicians continues to decline as production companies find cheaper alternatives elsewhere, so musicians\u2019 union executives are backing California legislation designed to provide financial incentives to return film- and TV-scoring jobs back to Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Assembly Bill 1300, the \u201cMusic Scoring Tax Credit Bill,\u201d recently introduced by Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon, would offer a 30 percent tax credit to U.S. productions made in foreign countries, as well as for low-budget films, that use California musicians. Union officials believe that passage could mean millions in regained wages for studio players.<\/p>\n

According to International Recording Musicians Association president Marc Sazer, L.A. musicians \u2013 who once routinely scored nearly all American movies \u2013 have lost substantial ground to London and other European venues. In 2003, nearly 60 percent of feature films were scored by\u00a0American Federation of Musicians<\/a>\u00a0members; by 2015, that number was down to 30 percent.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In 2015, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 33 \u201cmajor motion pictures\u201d that opened wide were produced overseas, and only five of those were scored in the U.S., Sazer reports.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

RMA provided\u00a0Variety<\/em>\u00a0with a list of 2015 releases scored outside the U.S., five of which were among the year\u2019s 25 top-grossing films (\u201cAvengers: Age of Ultron,\u201d \u201cThe Martian,\u201d \u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 Rogue Nation,\u201d \u201cMad Max: Fury Road\u201d and \u201cKingsman: The Secret Service\u201d) that, had they been scored here, would have generated wages and residuals totaling nearly $18 million.<\/p>\n

These films, they argue, were \u201cjobs and wages that could have been brought back\u201d to L.A. if the proposed tax credits were already in place.<\/p>\n

Production companies \u201cfollow tax-credit money to the U.K., to Spain, Hungary, wherever, and the scoring gets done in London (or elsewhere in Europe),\u201d says Sazer. Adds AFM Local 47 president John Acosta: \u201cTax credits really drive a lot of the business. In conversations with the studios, that\u2019s what they tell us: \u2018We\u2019ve got to go where the tax credits are.’\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So union executives are lobbying legislators to modify the state\u2019s current tax-credit program that, according to Sazer, \u201chas been extraordinarily successful for IATSE, the Teamsters, actors, writers and directors. But it hasn\u2019t worked for us (musicians). Virtually no new jobs have been brought to us as a result of the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

In any given year, according to Los Angeles RMA chapter president Steve Dress, L.A. musicians earn an estimated $10 million to $12 million in wages for movies, and passage of this bill could bring in another $5 million annually. \u201cIt would transform our community,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Numbers vary widely depending on the film but, on average, Local 47\u2019s Acosta explains, \u201ceach film hires anywhere between 50 and 80 unique musicians. On a big film, you\u2019ve got 100 musicians on a scoring stage, and another 20 or 30 music preparation personnel. A hundred to 120 people times 10 movies, you\u2019re talking about over 1,000 jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

That amounts to \u201cmillions of dollars in taxable income, plus pension, health and welfare benefits \u2014 it\u2019s huge,\u201d says Acosta. \u201cA million-dollar credit can generate 10 times that in what it pays back.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

That\u2019s at the high end. Union executives are also looking at the smaller films, the indies that often score non-union because budgets are so tight. So there is a provision in the bill for a similar tax credit for films costing $5 million or less.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can get the state to invest in those projects, we can be competitive, and give composers access to the top musicians,\u201d Sazer says. It\u2019s also in the indie arena where minority composers and women composers are working more steadily, Acosta points out. This could benefit them and promote diversity in film music.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is a financially attractive option available, one that has not previously existed, it will keep more [scoring] work in Los Angeles,\u201d says Lolita Ritmanis, president of the Alliance for Women Film Composers. \u201cThere is nothing to lose by fighting for these tax incentives. As a community, it benefits all of us to have our brilliant musicians working, re-energizing the Los Angeles scoring community, along with support businesses that benefit from jobs remaining in California.\u201d<\/p>\n

The legislation calls for a 30 percent tax credit for foreign-produced films that would provide jobs for at least 35 musicians, and films or documentaries with a budget of $5 million or less that would employ at least nine musicians.<\/p>\n

Tim Davies, an Australian composer who is now one of L.A.\u2019s busiest maestros (\u201cFrozen<\/a>,\u201d \u201cLa La Land<\/a>\u201d), also supports the effort. \u201cI think it\u2019s a good thing,\u201d he said on Saturday. \u201cThe other guilds have benefited from tax credits way more than we have. Projects we could have done here went elsewhere for tax credit reasons,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n

RMA executives say they expect to be lobbying for this legislation over the next several months. \u201cIt\u2019s business, it\u2019s dollars and sense,\u201d says Dress. \u201cEverybody we\u2019ve talked to in the music community has been supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help call attention to their campaign, AFM Local 47 will stage a free outdoor concert at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall. Scheduled to perform are\u00a0Rickey Minor<\/a>, longtime \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d music director; \u201cThis Is Us\u201d composer Siddhartha Khosla; and others to be announced.<\/p>\n
