On the latest episode of On Production, we’re heading to Washington.
Josh Rogin, Senior Vice President of Federal Government Affairs at the Motion Picture Association, joins Cameron to talk about a federal production tax credit introduced in Congress, how it would work alongside state incentives, and why a coalition of studios, independents, and labor has come together behind it.
If you work in production and want to understand what a federal incentive could mean for crews and productions, or what you can do to support it, this one is worth your time.

Hey Kenz! I-9 verification is required each time you work with a new employer per USCIS regulations, so if you’re working across different production companies, each one has to verify independently. It’s also possible if you’re working with the same company that they have their settings configured to re-verify each project. That said, your note on making documents easier to reuse is great feedback. We appreciate it and it’s already been forwarded to the rest of the team.
When a Tom Cruise movie shoots in Europe, Josh Rogin says, the taxes and the jobs that follow go with it.
Josh Rogin, Senior Vice President of Federal Government Affairs at the Motion Picture Association, makes the economic case for bringing that work back to the United States through a federal production tax credit. If you want to help support it, you can contact your members of Congress or find ways to get involved at https://t.co/mWdvPJeG4x.

Every episode of On Production covers what the rest of the industry conversation misses: the finance, the incentives, the systems, and the decisions that determine whether a production succeeds or falls apart.

Ask three people to describe an elephant by touch, one at the trunk, one at the body, and one at the tail, and you’ll get three very different animals.
Kory Orban, co-founder of Cinematicalism and co-author of The Comprehensive Dictionary of Cinema, says film language works the same way. A film professor, a lamp op, and a fan at Comic-Con all love the same art form, but each brings their own experience to the words they use to describe it.

Kory Orban and Scooter Corkle, two of the creators behind Cinematicalism’s The Comprehensive Dictionary of Cinema, join Cameron to talk about building a 5,424-entry reference to film language, why the same term can mean something completely different depending on your department, and how a passion project turned into a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $220,000 against a $7,500 goal.
If you’ve ever been confused by set lingo or just love the language of cinema, this one is worth your time.

A new episode of On Production is coming soon.
Kory Orban and Scooter Corkle, two of the creators behind Cinematicalism’s The Comprehensive Dictionary of Cinema, on why their book is as much a celebration of cinema as it is a reference. From the crew on set to the audience in the theater, they say film is one community, and language is what connects it.

You can dim the lights, lock the front door, and set the thermostat from a single app on your phone. So why should running a production still mean keeping payroll in one place, spend in another, and accounting somewhere else entirely?
In 2026, it’s time to expect more from production finance. No more manual workflows, no more limited visibility: just payroll, spend, and accounting, all in one connected system.
Curious what else you should be expecting from your software?
