On Tuesday, November 10, the University of California, San Francisco, will release a report linking state film subsidies to youth smoking. The recruitment of hundreds of thousands of adolescents to smoke by their exposure to smoking on screen is a major public health issue, domestically and internationally. Indiscriminate public subsidies for films with tobacco imagery are in direct conflict with the states’ own compelling public health goals.
On Tuesday, you can download a copy of the report at http://escholarship.org/uc/item/8nc8422j. I hope you’ll find it of interest. Please contact me with any questions.

[...] Almost every study on the economic impact from film incentive programs across the nation have unanimously shown film incentive programs do not pay for themselves and, at best, generate enough new revenue to offset between 14 to 30-cents of each dollar spent on the program. Given this virtually universal finding for state film incentive programs from New Mexico to Louisiana to Massachusetts, how can the results for California be so different? Fortunately, perhaps in anticipation of attacks from skeptics, the LAEDC report provides a detailed explanation: California’s rich history in film making has allowed the development of a deep pool of talented workers in the variety of occupations needed to produce a motion picture or television series. This makes it possible for the industry to find suppliers for almost all its needs within the state, keeping this economic activity here. Almost 92 percent of all the goods and services purchased by the industry are sourced within the state. [...]
