A FILMMAKER FOR GOVERNOR

Successful governance and successful filmmaking both rely on intent. 

Here is my intent: I will make decisions based entirely on what is best for making great movies in California.

If you want to film here, you should.  But currently, “institutions” like FilmLA are obstructing that commerce and must be dismantled.

The state of California should be used by filmmakers the same way our lakes and rivers are used by fisherman. Register with the state and pay a set nominal fee, here’s your license. But if you break the law… if you are a nuisance streamer, run an unsafe set, or don’t pay your crews, your license gets revoked.

Education? Our children need to be given an environment where they can be excited by math, science, art, film, and history so that they can grow up to be the filmmakers and film technologists of the future. 

Crime? Homelessness? No one is going to film in an area where they are fearful the camera lenses are going to get stolen out of their car.  We need to clean up the streets. 

Social issues? You’re free to make movies about them if you want.  My time and attention as governor needs to be focused elsewhere.

Being governor is a job, and this election is about electing a governor who will do this job with clear intent.

I will do this job with clear intent.
