With three top California assemblyman singing their tune at the American Federation of Musicians\u2019 \u201cKeeping the Score in California\u201d event, it appears as if the tax incentive designed to keep recording work in the state is destined for passage. \u201cI don\u2019t see it as a question of\u00a0if<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s going to happen, I see it as a question of\u00a0when<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s going to happen,\u201d said Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon, who in April introduced the measure, AB 1300.<\/p>\n

Other Sacramento heavy-hitters\u00a0who joined AFM Los Angeles president John Acosta and about 150 attendees for a free concert at City Hall on Aug. 19 were James\u00a0Cooper, who chairs the assembly budget subcommittee overseeing the initiative, and Sebastian Ridley-Thomas, chairman of the\u00a0assembly committee on revenue and taxation.<\/p>\n

While California passed a\u00a0film production tax credit<\/a>\u00a0of $1.55 billion starting in 2014 and running through 2020, scoring was not included in the $330 per year of relief. That may be because at the time, music was considered more a part of post-production, as with many aspects of filmmaking, digital technology has compressed music into part of the production process. And while that production credit has seen some improvement in keeping work in California, runaway scoring has become rampant, with the business dwindling in the past 10 years to half its size, with Paramount and Universal closing their scoring stages and the legendary Todd-AO room at CBS Radford razed to make way for office space.<\/p>\n

\u201cSony, MGM, Fox and Warner Bros. are the only big studio scoring stages left,\u201d composer Dan Redfeld said. \u201cKeeping the scoring work here in Los Angeles supports a whole ecosystem of work here \u2014 not only the musicians but the facilities staff, the engineers, orchestrators, copyists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve done the grips, the propmasters, the painters, the electricians, the teamsters, the carpenter and the plumbers. We now need to look at those musicians who are part of the creative pipeline that help make California the capitol of the American dream, the American imagination, the global imagination,\u201d Ridley-Thomas said. At the moment, AB 1300 is an idea in search of funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither we find a pot of money we can dedicate to expand the existing credit or we can start the conversation of what the next tax credit\u2019s going to look like in 2020,\u201d said Calderon, who represents the 57th district, which includes Whittier, Norwalk and La Habra. \u201cWhatever money we dedicate toward these programs is money we don\u2019t dedicate to other programs like the social safety net or education, so it\u2019s not an easy thing, but when you look at the overall state budget and the value of retaining these jobs, it\u2019s extremely valuable and of significant state interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because we are just entering the second of California is on a two-year assembly term, Calderon thinks there may be some movement next year. But Ridley-Thomas is even more optimistic. \u201cI think there\u2019s a chance we may do some of this in the next six weeks, repurposing existing money,\u201d said the assemblyman, whose district 54 includes Century City, Culver City and Crenshaw. To make that happen, Ridley-Thomas urges musicians and their supporters to\u00a0\u201cGo to\u00a0www.keepingthescoreca.org<\/a>\u00a0and sign the petition. Write majority leader Calderon and myself, write Governor Brown. Use social media, call our offices and express concern. Take time to write a personal letter and say music should be part of the film and television tax credit. Those personal narratives I think will make a huge difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rickey Minor, a bandleader whose credits include The Tonight Show<\/em> and American Idol<\/em>, was one of performers at the first \u201cKeeping the Score\u201d event, along with This is Us composer Siddhartha Khosla. Although Minor \u2014 who is nominated for two Emmys this year and has been tapped as music supervisor for the 69th Annual Emmycast \u2014 is highly sought after, he said the drought of work \u201chas affected me personally not only because my friends are leaving, but because the pool of players at the highest level are leaving,\u201d making it more challenging to put a great orchestra or band together. \u201cA lot of my friends have packed up their homes and families and moved to a place where they can work, or they\u2019ve changed careers, because there\u2019s not enough work for musicians in this town. It\u2019s a tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou spend your life dedicating yourself to an art, so many years of blood, sweat and tears in a practice room, only to go to a work environment where you could be at the top of your game, playing as great as anyone in any orchestra, and still struggling to find work and having to take a day job,\u201d American Youth Symphony bassist Freddy Hernandez said. \u201cThat just shouldn\u2019t happen, especially in Los Angeles, where film music and studio orchestras were once a staple of the town.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
