Return to the Pitch: Day 3 Midday

12:30 — Unity Lunch: Gold-Fueled Recharge

The air in the dining hall buzzed—not with noise, but with energy.

It was mid-cycle, and though the training modules had pushed every player to their mental and physical limits, none sat slouched. They stood tall, even in rest, golden uniforms gleaming under the soft ambient light. The large circular table—symbolic of equality and unity—was lined with drones on one side, human players on the other.

No segregation. No rank.

Christian had once skipped these lunches, choosing instead to eat alone or slip out for brand meetings and social posts. But Polo-Drone-055 was here—present, silent, perfectly still in his chair, golden gloves folded over his meal tray.

Across from him, #17 Jax, a left winger with a blazing sprint and a louder mouth, tapped his tray and smirked.

“You better be ready, 055. If I’m gunning down your side during scrimmage tomorrow, I want a real challenge.”

A polo drone, center-back Ramon, added, “Nah, he’ll read you before you even move. Lad’s a wall now.”

The room chuckled. Even the drones—though not programmed to laugh—tilted their heads ever so slightly. A recognition gesture. Shared rhythm.  055 initiated its bonding program joined the banter. 

Over the next twenty minutes, strategy flowed through casual conversation. Jokes turned to anecdotes. Someone pulled up a highlight reel of last year’s finals. They watched in silence as a former Golden Army wingback mistimed a slide tackle—leaving the goal exposed.

“Not this year,” murmured Marquez. “This time, we’re everywhere. Every blade of grass—ours.”

055 processed the moment. The way the humans looked to one another. The way their energy lifted each other’s resolve. It was something Christian never valued—collective fire. Now, it fueled 055’s systems.

He stood slowly, tray untouched.

“Victory will not be seized,” he said, voice flat but amplified. “It will be programmed—together.”

There was a beat of silence. Then hands clapped. Fists bumped. Even the drones executed a synchronized nod of agreement.

TEAM MORALE INDEX: +22.4% INTERPERSONAL TRUST LINKED ACROSS UNITS SPIRIT LEVEL: ASCENDING

14:00 — Memory Field Drill

On the turf, 055 moved through replays loaded into memory. Simulated players, familiar threats. He responded, adjusted, countered—all without input. No coaches. No teammates. Just programming, running real-time match scenarios from matches that hadn't yet been played.

The match had already begun.

February historically worst month for S&P 500 and NASDAQ in post-election years

February is in the middle of the Best Six Months, but its long-term track record, since 1950, is not impressive. February ranks no better than sixth and has recorded meager average performance, with one exception, Russell 2000. Small cap stocks, benefiting from “January Effect” carry over in some years; historically tend to outpace large cap stocks in February. The Russell 2000 index of small cap stocks turns in an average gain of 1.1% in February since 1979, the sixth best month for that benchmark. Russell 2000 has had a challenging January this year with only brief hints of the “January Effect.” Without this typically bullish momentum, Russell 2000 could also continue to struggle this February.

February’s post-election-year performance has been wretched since 1950, ranking dead last for S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000. Average losses have been sizable: –1.3%, –3.0% and –0.9% respectively. February ranks tenth for DJIA in post-election years with an average loss of 0.8%. February 2001 and 2009 were exceptionally brutal. NASDAQ dropped 22.4% in February 2001, its third worst monthly loss ever. One minor reprieve from the longer-term gloom is all five indexes have advanced in the last three post-election year Februarys (2013, 2017, and 2021).

Filming in LA declines in first quarter of 2025

Film production in Los Angeles falls by 22% in the first quarter of 2025

ByCeline Littlejohn|Apr 16, 2025

Hollywood Sign | Kirby Lee/GettyImages

Many people dream of a career in the world of film. Whether it’s working as an actor in front of the camera, a writer creating stories that will reach a wide range of audiences, a director who looks to bring their vision to life, or work in any other departments such as hair, makeup, costumes, or set design, working on set for a production is an experience unlike any other. 

Numerous people believe that this dream will come to life in the city where the film industry rose to prominence–Los Angeles, California.

Unfortunately, with productions moving to other American cities such as New York, Austin, and Atlanta, or moving to other countries, there has been a decrease in on-set production for the Los Angeles area. 

2024 ended with a higher note, with production in the region increasing by 6.2%. However, “production shoot days in the Greater Los Angeles area declined by 22.4% from January through March 2025, according to FilmLA‘s latest report.” 

Looking at the data, television production had, “ 1,670 shoot days, falling 30.5%, and feature film production dropped to 28.9% with 451 shoot days.” 

An event that affected Southern California in the first quarter of 2025 that did not happen at the end of 2024 was the devastation of the Altadena and Pacific Palisades fires.

While some may assume that the L.A. fires contributed to the decline in film production, Variety reported that an analysis from FilmLA determined that the two areas only accounted for 1.3% of all regional filming.

Only 545 film locations were actually located within the burn zones, which are still off-limits per City and County orders. 

With that being said, this data does not take back the devastating aftermath of the fires as a whole. 

When speaking about the fires, Phillip Sokoloski, the Vice President of Integrated Communications at FilmLA said that, “Loss of filming opportunity in no way compares to the cost of the Eaton and Palisades Fires in terms of loss of life, resident displacement and property damage."

He continued to explain that, “the fires sent many productions scrambling to reschedule shoots and displaced hundreds of industry workers from their homes. But their impact on local filming levels appears to have been temporary.”

Other factors in the decline of production look to be due to, “global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” 

This isn’t the only challenge Hollywood has faced recently. Everything from the 2023 labor strikes to the COVID-19 pandemic and, “upheaval from the rise of streaming services,” have added to the decline as well.   

The peak of television production in recent years was in 2021, which featured 18,560 annual shoot days in the Greater Los Angeles area. 

This is a stark difference from 7,716 shoot days just 3 years later in 2024, a 58.4% decrease, showing the roller coaster ride film production has gone through this decade. 

In 2025’s first quarter, TV drama production decreased by 38.9% and TV comedy production declined by 29.9%. 

Shoots that aren’t as expensive, such as, “still photography, student films, documentaries, music and industrial videos and other projects, dropped 20.2% last quarter.” 

Reality TV also saw a decline, going down 26.4%. 

In 2023, reality TV saw an increase as a result of the entertainment industry strikes, but this changed in 2024, which was the, “second-slowest year for filming in Greater L.A.” 

There are efforts being made to solve this downturn and help increase production in the region. 

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, is looking to expand the California Film & Television Tax Credit Program. 

This comes as there has been a push by labor unions, producers, and actors to increase tax incentives for the industry, as Reuters explained. 

FilmLA looks to support this initiative, which is an “expansion of California’s film incentive to $750 million or more per year, including proposed changes to make the program more internationally competitive.” 

Sokoloski of FilmLA shared the significance of doing whatever it takes to help LA’s film industry. 

He explained that the, “California Production Coalition estimates that the average location shoot adds $670,000 and 1,500 jobs a day to a local economy.”

With that number in mind, people can see how every production creates jobs. As a result, more jobs can boost the industry. 

He continued to explain that the, "County of Los Angeles and Beacon Economics report that there are 10,500 entertainment related businesses in the state… California can’t afford to surrender any more work to its competitors.”

Hopefully change will come to the Southern California area to help bolster the film industry and allow for more productions to be made in the area as opposed to opposing locations.

Calgary's multifamily market is experiencing robust growth, with a 17.9% year-over-year increase in total starts highlighting strong market confidence. The apartment segment has shown particular strength, with a 21.4% increase in starts compared to April 2024. This trend is driven by increasing urbanization, rising single-family home prices pushing buyers toward more affordable options, and strong population growth from both international and interprovincial migration.

The city's multifamily development is concentrated in the northwest and southeast quadrants, with significant activity in transit-oriented development zones. Compared to single-family homes, multifamily properties in Calgary are experiencing faster growth in starts, reflecting shifting consumer preferences and affordability constraints in the detached segment.

Monthly data reveals an accelerating trend in multifamily construction, with starts increasing from 980 in January to 1,450 in April 2025, representing a 48% growth within the first four months of the year. This acceleration suggests strong developer confidence in the Calgary market's absorption capacity for new multifamily units.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: Calgary's multifamily market demonstrates a healthy balance between construction and absorption, with all property types showing months of inventory well below the 6-month balanced market threshold. Semi-detached units show the strongest performance with 85% absorption within three months and only 2.9 months of inventory, indicating particularly strong demand for this property type. The gap between completion rates (85-94%) and absorption rates (78-85%) is relatively narrow, suggesting efficient market clearing and limited risk of oversupply despite the accelerated construction pace.

𝗘𝗱𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀

Edmonton's multifamily construction activity has increased by 12.1% compared to April 2024, with apartments showing the most significant growth at 16.1%. This trend reflects improving economic conditions, gradual population growth, and increasing demand for more affordable housing options in the capital region.

The city's multifamily development landscape is characterized by more modest growth compared to Calgary, with a 41.2% increase in starts from January to April 2025 (from 850 to 1,200), compared to Calgary's 48% growth over the same period. This difference highlights the varying pace of recovery between Alberta's two major urban centers.

Edmonton's multifamily development is concentrated in the southwest and downtown areas, with significant activity around the expanding LRT network. The slower growth in row/townhouse starts (6.3%) compared to apartments (16.1%) suggests a market preference for higher-density options in the current economic environment.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: Edmonton shows slightly weaker absorption metrics compared to Calgary, with apartment absorption at 72% (vs. Calgary's 78%) and months of inventory at 4.5 months (vs. Calgary's 3.8 months). This differential suggests somewhat softer demand conditions in Edmonton despite its lower construction volume. The wider gap between completion rates (82-93%) and absorption rates (72-80%) indicates a slightly higher risk of inventory buildup, particularly in the apartment segment where the differential is most pronounced. Nevertheless, all property types remain in seller's market territory with months of inventory below the 6-month balanced market threshold.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀

Smaller urban centers in Alberta are experiencing varied growth in multifamily construction, with Lethbridge showing remarkable strength (34.3% increase) and Red Deer demonstrating more modest growth (4.4% increase). These patterns reflect the different economic and demographic conditions in each city, with Lethbridge benefiting from its diversified economy and growing student population.

The multifamily market outside the major urban centers presents interesting opportunities, with Lethbridge in particular showing stronger percentage growth than either Calgary or Edmonton. Compared to the major cities, these smaller markets offer potentially less competition and lower land costs for developers, though with smaller overall market size.

The strong performance in Lethbridge suggests that smaller markets should not be overlooked in provincial development strategies, as they may offer significant growth potential with less intense competition than the major urban centers. The year-to-date data shows that multifamily starts in smaller Alberta centers have increased by 18.8% compared to the same period in 2024, indicating broad-based growth across the province.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: Smaller Alberta markets show the weakest absorption metrics among the three regions, with apartment absorption at 68% (vs. Calgary's 78% and Edmonton's 72%) and months of inventory approaching the balanced market threshold at 5.2 months for apartments. The significant gap between completion rates (80-91%) and absorption rates (68-78%) suggests a higher risk of inventory accumulation, particularly given the strong growth in starts in markets like Lethbridge. Developers in these smaller markets should carefully monitor absorption trends and potentially adjust construction timelines to avoid oversupply conditions, especially in the apartment segment.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀

The relationship between construction starts and absorption rates provides critical insights into market health and future risks. Across Alberta, we observe several key patterns:

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀: Calgary consistently outperforms other regions in absorption rates across all property types, with a 10-percentage point advantage over smaller Alberta markets in the apartment segment (78% vs. 68%). This differential is particularly significant given Calgary's higher construction volume, suggesting stronger underlying demand fundamentals in the city.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Semi-detached units show the strongest absorption rates across all regions (78-85%), followed by row/townhouses (74-82%), and apartments (68-78%). This pattern suggests that despite the stronger growth in apartment construction, lower-density multifamily options remain more readily absorbed by the market.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝘁𝗼-𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗽: The gap between completion rates and absorption rates varies significantly by region, with Calgary showing the narrowest differential (7-10 percentage points), Edmonton in the middle (10-13 percentage points), and smaller Alberta markets showing the widest gap (12-13 percentage points). This pattern suggests varying levels of market efficiency and potential inventory risk.

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀: All regions and property types currently show months of inventory below the 6-month balanced market threshold, indicating seller's market conditions despite increased construction activity. However, apartments in smaller Alberta markets are approaching this threshold at 5.2 months, suggesting a need for careful monitoring in this segment.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝘀. 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: The rapid growth in construction starts (17.9% in Calgary, 12.1% in Edmonton, and 22.2% in smaller markets) relative to more stable absorption rates suggests potential for inventory buildup if current trends continue. This risk is most pronounced in smaller Alberta markets where the absorption-to-construction gap is widest.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Developers should adopt distinct strategies for Calgary, Edmonton, and smaller Alberta markets, recognizing the unique demand drivers and supply conditions in each region. In Calgary, focus on higher-density apartment projects in transit-oriented locations; in Edmonton, consider a balanced approach between apartments and row/townhouses; in Lethbridge, explore opportunities for student-oriented multifamily developments while being mindful of absorption capacity.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝘅 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Focus on apartments in Calgary where data shows strongest demand growth (21.4% increase), while maintaining a more balanced product mix in Edmonton where the growth differential between property types is less pronounced. In smaller markets like Lethbridge, consider mid-density options that align with local market preferences and affordability levels, recognizing the stronger absorption rates for semi-detached and row/townhouse products.

𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴: Consider accelerating project timelines in Calgary where absorption rates support continued growth, while adopting a more measured approach in smaller Alberta markets where the gap between construction and absorption is widest. Pay particular attention to completion-to-absorption differentials when planning project phases to avoid contributing to potential oversupply.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: In markets with lower absorption rates, particularly smaller Alberta centers, consider pre-sales strategies, phased development approaches, and flexible construction timelines that can be adjusted based on absorption performance. For apartment developments in these markets, where months of inventory approaches 5.2 months, particular caution is warranted.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Consider allocating investment across multiple Alberta markets to balance risk, with approximately 60% in Calgary, 30% in Edmonton, and 10% in smaller centers based on current growth trends, market sizes, and absorption performance. This approach provides exposure to the stronger growth in Calgary while maintaining diversification benefits.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Focus on property types with stronger absorption rates and lower months of inventory, particularly semi-detached and row/townhouse products which show more favorable absorption metrics across all regions. For apartment investments, prioritize Calgary where absorption rates are strongest (78%) and months of inventory lowest (3.8 months).

𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Adjust return expectations based on regional variations in absorption performance, with Calgary likely to deliver lower initial yields but stronger appreciation potential due to higher growth rates and stronger absorption, while smaller markets may offer higher initial yields but potentially more limited long-term appreciation and higher absorption risk.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: When evaluating potential investments, carefully assess the relationship between construction growth and absorption capacity in the specific submarket. Properties in areas with months of inventory approaching or exceeding 5 months warrant particular scrutiny, especially if construction activity continues to accelerate.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀: Address varying housing supply challenges across Alberta, with Calgary requiring continued support for high-density development near transit corridors, Edmonton needing balanced support across housing types, and smaller centers benefiting from targeted incentives for multifamily development that align with local absorption capacity.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀: Consider programs that enhance absorption capacity, particularly in regions and property types where the gap between construction and absorption is widest. These might include first-time homebuyer incentives for multifamily units, rental assistance programs, or tax incentives for purpose-built rental developments.

𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: Consider region-specific affordability programs, with Calgary potentially benefiting from inclusionary zoning policies in high-growth areas, Edmonton from rental support programs, and smaller centers from development fee reductions to encourage multifamily construction that matches local absorption capacity.

𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Align infrastructure investments with multifamily development patterns and absorption trends, prioritizing transit expansion in Calgary where apartment construction and absorption are booming, road and utility upgrades in Edmonton's growth areas, and community amenities in Lethbridge to support its rapidly growing multifamily sector.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: The varying multifamily construction and absorption patterns across Alberta suggest increasingly distinct market cycles, requiring region-specific strategies rather than province-wide approaches. Calgary's stronger growth trajectory (17.9% vs. Edmonton's 12.1%) and superior absorption performance (78% vs. 72% for apartments) indicate different economic fundamentals that should inform investment and development decisions.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: The current relationship between construction growth and absorption capacity suggests a market that remains in seller's territory but with varying degrees of risk across regions. Calgary shows the healthiest balance with strong absorption supporting continued construction growth, while smaller Alberta markets show signs of potential imbalance if current construction trends continue without corresponding improvements in absorption.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The shifting balance between apartment and row/townhouse construction indicates evolving consumer preferences, with apartments gaining market share across all regions. However, absorption data suggests that lower-density multifamily options (semi-detached and row/townhouses) continue to show stronger market acceptance, creating a potential mismatch between construction focus and absorption performance that warrants monitoring.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Lethbridge has demonstrated greater percentage growth in multifamily construction (34.3%) than either major urban center, suggesting potentially lower risk for developers and investors in this market despite its smaller size. However, this growth must be viewed in the context of weaker absorption metrics in smaller Alberta markets, highlighting the importance of balancing growth opportunities with absorption risk.

Hollywood Faces Production Decline Amid Global Competition

Hollywood Faces Production Decline Amid Global Competition

Hollywood is at a perilous crossroads, one that many assume is merely a cyclical downturn in a long-standing industry. However, recent data reveals a stark reality: a staggering 22.4% decline in on-location production over the past year signals an existential crisis for the film and television sectors in Los Angeles. The question begs to be asked—how did we reach this point, and what are the broader implications for our cultural and economic landscape?

In just the first quarter of 2025, the industry recorded approximately 5,300 shoot days compared to over 6,800 during the same period the previous year. This represents not just a decline, but a profound shift in Hollywood's operational dynamics. The backdrop of global competition plays a critical role as countries with more generous incentives aggressively court productions that would once have found a home in Los Angeles.

The economic ramifications of this decline are staggering. The reported 20% drop in production spending—coming in at $11.3 billion—is more than just a financial statistic. Each lost dollar ripples through communities and industries that rely on Hollywood for their livelihoods. When we lose productions, we lose not only jobs but the very heartbeat of a city that prides itself on being the cultural capital of storytelling.

What’s particularly concerning is how this decline echoes past economic misfortunes, reminiscent of Detroit’s auto industry collapse. The ongoing loss of the film and television industry threatens to “hollow out” not just Hollywood but Los Angeles itself. Industry insiders are sounding the alarm, urging for competitive incentives to stave off this exodus, yet decisive action remains elusive.

Strikes compounded the challenges faced by Hollywood. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strikes of 2023 served as a wake-up call, revealing deep vulnerabilities within an industry already at a tipping point. These events were not merely labor disputes; they highlighted a broader disconnect between the industry's creative talent and its financial viability.

The trajectory appears bleak, yet there exists a glimmer of hope. The networking of grassroots advocacy with studio executives amplifies the call for change. But recognition must translate into action. The industry's ability to adapt and innovate could play a pivotal role in reversing this trend.

As we look toward the future, one truth remains indisputable: the survival of Hollywood hinges on its willingness to embrace change amidst fierce global competition. If we do not act swiftly, we may find ourselves watching the sun set on an iconic industry—a grim reminder that stagnation leads to decline.

In the face of such challenges, we must reckon with a powerful reality: the arts and culture we cherish demand not only preservation but active support. Hollywood's renaissance will require a collective commitment to adaptability, creativity, and resilience. Let us not sit idle as this cultural pillar erodes; the time for action is now.
