The Motion Picture Association issued a report on Tuesday estimating that U.S. film and TV production would double by 2032 if Congress passes a federal film incentive.

The report, prepared by Olsberg SPI, also projects that a 20% federal credit would create about 143,500 production jobs per year.

The MPA is working with a coalition of Hollywood unions to campaign for a tax incentive to revive the flagging domestic industry. President Trump endorsed the idea last month, leading to renewed interest on Capitol Hill, where a bill is expected to be introduced by the end of this month.
