In Love with the Process Podcast

EP340 | Stay in LA (w/ Aaron Moorhead, Justin Benson, & David Lawson)


Listen Later

On today’s episode, host Mike Pecci checks in on the health of the film industry in a post-strike, post-streamer-shakeup world. From slashed budgets to runaway productions, the filmmaking landscape in Los Angeles has changed — and not for the better.

Mike is joined by powerhouse filmmakers Aaron Moorhead, Justin Benson, and David Lawson — the creative minds behind cult favorites like The Endless, Spring, Synchronic, and Something in the Dirt — to dig deep into how tax incentives, studio decisions, and shifting priorities have pulled productions away from the city that built the movie business.

The crew also shines a spotlight on the Stay in LA movement — a growing effort to bring jobs and productions back home to Los Angeles. Mike doesn’t hold back, delivering a fiery rant on how we got here and what structural changes must happen to keep the art of cinema alive and thriving in LA.
