Connect. Advocate. Inspire.

Join the Coalition for American Production (CAP) this fall for a dynamic four-day advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. Our mission is simple but urgent: ensure that the American film industry continues to thrive—right here at home. This event brings together creators, producers, industry professionals, and policymakers to build support for a national production incentive that keeps jobs, creativity, and culture rooted in the U.S.

Why Join the CAP DC Lobby Trip?

What to Expect:

• Targeted meetings with members of Congress and key staff

• Training on effective advocacy and industry talking points

• Opportunities to network with fellow advocates

• Direct influence on policy that shapes the future of U.S. production
