Senator Hagerty from Tennessee has seen first-hand how film and TV production has positively impacted his community. From the economy to the culture, Tennessee has invested in its entertainment industry! #MPAReelTalk  @SenatorHagerty

@SenMcCormick sees what film, TV, and streaming production mean for families and communities from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and everywhere in between – more than 60,000 PA residents going to work in jobs supported by our industry. Great to meet with him and discuss even more ways to bring our iconic industry to Pennsylvania. @motionpictures 🎥🎬📺

Montana is welcoming sightseers from far and wide thanks to its recurring role in iconic productions.

American and Italian cinema share a strong bond that traces back to 1914, when our very first member film was set in the heart of Rome. Our heartfelt thanks to Italian Culture Minister Giuli and the entire Italian delegation for a truly inspiring visit to the MPA HQ in Washington, DC. @CharlieRivkin @AlessGiuli @ItalyinUS @MiC_Italia

"PG-13" is for the big screen, not social media. We are pleased that Meta has agreed to the MPA’s terms on any “PG-13” references for Instagram Teen Accounts. Our agreement helps ensure parents do not conflate movies and social media, and that MPA film ratings – with over 90% approval from American parents – continues to protect the trust we have built over nearly sixty years.

If you want to find a key voice on federal measures vital to our industry, look no further than @RepRichardNeal . He’s a central figure in forging the policies that shape where stories get made – and who gets to make them. Truly grateful for our conversation on the strength of America’s creative industries and his engagement on American film incentives. 🎥🎬📺 @motionpictures

We agree with our friends at YouTube that a federal solution to digital replica abuse is necessary. As they say in this @PostOpinions op-ed, the NO FAKES Act is a “necessary evolution of legal guardrails for the 21st century,” and we join their call for Congress to advance this bipartisan solution. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Illinois is coming off a banner year for the local film and TV industry – and the state is gearing up for more growth and jobs on and off set. Record production spending in 2025 led to thousands of hires and hundreds of millions in paychecks. But none of it happened by accident: it took trained crews, cutting-edge infrastructure, and a competitive incentive program to reach this milestone.

The first successful APK‑focused piracy shutdown in Indonesia — and a significant enforcement milestone. Through coordinated regional engagement and cross‑market enforcement efforts, ACE has dismantled AnimePlay, one of Asia‑Pacific’s largest illicit anime streaming applications, which had accumulated more than 5 million users and distributed over 60 terabytes of infringing content. ACE secured control of the complete piracy infrastructure behind the operation, bringing both the service and its underlying ecosystem to an end. This action reflects ACE’s deepening collaboration across the Asia‑Pacific region and its continued focus on infrastructure‑level enforcement, showing that large‑scale piracy operations, regardless of platform or location, can be detected, deterred, and dismantled.

Do you believe in miracles?🏒🇺🇸 The MPA’s @America250 screening of Miracle: The Boys of ’80 filled us all with hope and inspiration. A packed house, an incredible documentary, and a reminder of what great storytelling can do. Thank you to our partners @netflix and @America250 for making it happen and to @SenCapito and @Rep_Whitesides for joining us!

How do you write a show where every minute of a 15-hour ER shift feels real? Blank whiteboards, maps, lots of re-writing, and just doing the good work. Go inside the writers' room of @HBO's "The Pitt” with Cynthia Adarkwa, Valerie Chu, Cookie Pierre-Geyfman, and Danny Hogan. motionpictures.org/2026/03/inside…

We are disappointed in today’s Supreme Court decision, which upends the critical legal doctrine of contributory infringement for copyright that has served as a key factor fostering cooperation between rightsholders, internet service providers, and other online intermediaries.

Senator @MarkWarner recognizes what protecting and promoting the creative community means for Virginia and beyond: better-paying jobs and growing economies for American workers, businesses, and families. From his introduction of the Performing Artist Tax Parity Act to hosting film screenings and more, he is a true champion for our industry in the U.S. Senate. 🎥🎬📺 @motionpictures

South Korea is a hub of brilliant storytelling and a major player in the global entertainment industry – with films like Oscar-winning @ParasiteMovie and worldwide hits like #squidgame taking audiences by storm. Really enjoyed spending time with South Korea’s extraordinary Ambassador Kang Kyung-wha and discussing ways that @motionpictures member studios can keep working to strengthen the Korean creative market and while continuing to bring incredible ideas to our screens. 🇺🇸- 🇰🇷 🎥🎬📺 @RokEmbDC

.@RepJudyChu knows how vital the film and television industry is to California. For her and her district, it’s about the basics: making a film means more jobs and paychecks for crew members, support staff, and so many people behind the scenes. Rep. Chu told us why she loves ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ what great movies and shows represent about our country, and how she is fighting for American film and TV production in this #MPAReelTalk.

Sports, like film and TV, can bring us together. That was true as @usahockey won a hat trick of golds in Milan – and that was the case with the 1980 squad that made us believe in miracles. To continue our series marking @America250 , we partnered with @netflix to screen ‘Miracle: The Boys of ’80,' which takes us behind-the-scenes of the U.S. victory over the Soviets in Lake Placid. I remember watching that thrilling matchup as a kid, and I’m excited for so many to re-live it today. Streaming now on Netflix. 🎬📺🎬 @motionpictures @SenCapito @Rep_Whitesides

A legendary martial artist, an action icon, and the man who made 'Walker, Texas Ranger' a weekly household event for a generation. Chuck Norris showed us all that grit and hard work could build a lifelong career. From his breakthrough in 'The Way of the Dragon,' to his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, to his enduring triumph as a legend of the American cultural landscape, Chuck never stopped showing up. His legacy is undefeated.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including film and TV production!

On behalf of the MPA, congratulations to my friend, @RobertIger , on his visionary leadership of The Walt Disney Company. He has had an unprecedented, positive impact on the entire film, TV, and streaming industry during his tenure. He’s shown the world the timeless and enduring power of a great story, well told.   Looking forward to working with Josh D’Amaro, Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, and the entire Disney team as this iconic company continues to bring magic to audiences everywhere. @motionpictures thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/bob-iger-…
