WASHINGTON – The following is a statement from Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association (MPAA), following the introduction of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX).

The U.S. film and television industry supports two million American jobs and a network of thousands of small businesses across all 50 states. We are encouraged that the committee’s proposed changes to the U.S. tax code will encourage further job creation and economic growth.
