Governor Jerry Brown said he is set to sign an accord passed by the western US state's lawmakers, who voted to grant $330 million per year for five years, or a total of $1.65 billion. Previously, tax credits for films were limited to $100 million a year. &quot;This law will ... put thousands of Californians to work,&quot; Brown said in a statement, which noted that over the last 15 years film production has plummeted by 50 percent in California.</p><br clear="all"/>
