Rather than urge big corporations to leave Georgia, female film makers say Hollywood should leverage its economic power to help fund the groups that are helping women endangered by the law.
Without her job in the film industry, Riney said, she would likely have to go back to waiting tables. She would lose her healthcare insurance and no longer be able to donate to groups like Planned Parenthood.
Jaime Rosegren, 37, a set dresser who has worked on “Black Panther,” “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” said when she and other film workers lobbied GOP legislators at the Capitol as they considered the bill, they brushed aside economic concerns. Although boycotts have long been a way of influencing policy, historically they have been a way for ordinary people to exert their power on nations and corporations by refusing to buy their products. Calls on big corporations to pull work from a geographic area are somewhat different.
Over the last few years, Georgia’s generous tax incentives to film corporations have led it to become the top filming location in the United States, hosting 15 of the 100 highest-grossing domestic films in 2017 and 17 of the top 100 in 2016, according to FilmLA.
