A slate of major studio and independent feature films was selected to receive funding from California’s latest round of tax credits by the California Film Commission, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced June 23.

“California didn’t earn its role as the heart of the entertainment world by accident—it was built over generations by skilled workers and creative talent pushing boundaries,” Newsom said in a statement Monday.
