Hollywood’s backlots are going quiet.
Production trucks aren’t lining the streets like they used to.
On-location filmmaking — the backbone of Los Angeles for 100 years — is quietly moving away.

In this episode, we break down the real economic and industry forces behind the decline of on-location shooting in LA, and why studios are choosing Atlanta, New Mexico, Toronto, London, and even overseas markets over Hollywood.

And more importantly — what this shift means for independent filmmakers navigating a collapsing old system and a rising new one.

🎥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why on-location filmmaking is rapidly leaving Los Angeles
• How rising costs, shrinking budgets, and global tax incentives reshaped the industry
• The long-term fallout of the 2023 strikes on Hollywood production
• Why streaming platforms pulled back content spending — and how that destroyed LA shoot volumes
• How Atlanta, New Mexico, Canada, the UK, and Australia became new production capitals
• What the “multi-hub” future of global filmmaking looks like
• Why indie filmmakers actually benefit from this shift, more than studios
• How AI-assisted pre-production is removing the need to be physically in Hollywood
• Why filmmaking power is finally becoming decentralized — and what that means for your career
