Donald Trump, upon his inauguration as US president in 2025, “leaves the entertainment industry alone”.Yesterday (November 6), The Hollywood Reporter shared opinions from Hollywood producers following the US presidential election results this week.One unnamed “indie industry vet” said: “When I saw the results come in, and Trump had won, I just wanted to put my head down on my desk and weep, but in terms of the business, we’ll have to see how much will really change.”A notable portion of concerns address international relations and trade deals.

During Trump’s presidential campaign, his proposed trade policies may create new challenges for US producers seeking to produce or distribute their films internationally – and vice versa.When it comes to international productions looking to shoot films in the US, Australian producer Jim Robison (Lunar Pictures) talks about the existing complicated processes in getting production incentives.
