David O’Ferrall (IATSE Local 487) joins Cam for a deep dive into what actually determines where film and TV productions shoot — and why the DMV often loses out despite having elite crews. David explains the role of a union business agent, how tax credits became the first question every production asks, why soundstage space is a critical bottleneck, and how film production spending ripples through local economies.
