working with Kenzo that Moraes discovered that thinking outside the box can be essential to find exactly what you need to stand out. There, he worked on six narrative films alongside directors such as Spike Jonze, Gregg Araki, Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Brownstein and Kahlil Joseph. But it was with Sean Baker, Oscar-winning director in 2025 for Anora, that he found a differential.

Baker was young in the film market and had only worked on the movie Tangerine, a 2015 drama recorded on iPhones, at the time Moraes called him to collaborate on one of Kenzo’s films. Ten years later, he was awarded by the Academy.

“I like to think that, at that time, Sean was a person who had no dialogue with fashion. But I saw that there was an interesting point of view over there. I think that’s what we try to see, how can we call interesting collaborators who leave the normal axis of the pop world to interpret a song or clip.”

numbers from the Gauge regularly appear in news reports, earnings calls, press releases and analysts’ research notes, giving them considerable influence over market perceptions and advertisers’ budgets

The Gauge generated headlines last year when it showed that streaming services had surpassed broadcast and cable viewing in the May report for the first time. YouTube has been the most-watched video provider on TV sets in the U.S. since February 2025, according to the Gauge.

Iran has repeatedly insisted that the truce be extended to Lebanon, a proposal that the United States and Israel have rejected.

Hezbollah, a group long considered more powerful than Lebanon’s own military. Hezbollah has long rejected any direct talks with Israel.

Israel launched its military campaign in Lebanon in early March, days after the United States and Israel began their air campaign against Iran. Hezbollah had fired rockets at northern Israel in solidarity with Iran, its patron. Israel’s offensive has expanded into a ground invasion of the country’s south, an area that Israeli officials have signaled plans to occupy.

At least 13 Israeli soldiers have also been killed, along with two civilians, according to the Israeli authorities.

Israel’s bombardment of southern Lebanon intensified on Thursday, with Hezbollah also launching attacks at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon.

Israeli strikes destroyed the Qasmiya Bridge over the Litani River on Thursday, according to Lebanon’s military. The bridge was the last remaining road link connecting the area to the rest of the country after others were hit by earlier strikes.

An intense wave of Israeli airstrikes was also reported in the southern city of Nabatieh, along with overnight clashes in the southern town of Bint Jbeil between Israeli ground forces and Hezbollah militants, according to Lebanon’s state-run news agency. The Israeli military said it had surrounded and advanced through the town in recent days.

Bint Jbeil holds a symbolic significance: In the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, Israeli forces fought a costly battle there with Hezbollah but failed to take control.

If Israeli forces capture the town, it would also give them greater control over the center of the border region.

Her role in One Battle After Another has been one of those answered prayers. Taylor’s character, Perfidia Beverly Hills, is leading a revolution with her partner by her side—until she gives birth to their daughter and soon after abandons the family. There were still fights to fight and Perfidia’s restlessness and struggles adjusting to motherhood led her to leave. She’s another complicated character who deals with motherhood in ways that, maybe, Taylor would not.

Taylor sympathizes with her character: “I think with Perfidia, you see the results of people overlooking postpartum depression. You see how that makes her react. And you see this woman that still wants to shoot guns and still wants to be a revolutionary and she wants all of the things.”

Marvel is one of many Hollywood companies that have shot in Georgia to take advantage of the state’s generous production tax credits. It made nearly two dozen superhero movies and TV shows in the Atlanta area.

Marvel is making most of its upcoming content in the United Kingdom. Rising costs in Georgia mean it’s now cheaper to shoot in the U.K.

Marvel’s departure is part of a nearly 50% drop in production spending in Georgia over the past three years.

Some 245 projects were shot in Georgia in the fiscal year that ended in June, compared with 412 in fiscal 2022. The state’s plight isn’t unique. Studios have been producing significantly fewer TV shows since 2023 in an effort to make their streaming services more profitable. The content they do produce is often filmed overseas to save money.

Across the U.S., 29% fewer movies and TV series with budgets above $40 million started filming in 2024 versus 2022, according to data company ProdPro. In the U.K., that number grew by 16%. Its tax credit is similar to Georgia’s, but workers there are generally paid less, and studios don’t have to cover their health insurance.

Marvel is making two new “Avengers” movies and the next “Spider-Man” at a facility outside London where parent company Disney has a long-term lease. It’s far from the only Hollywood company filming in the U.K. “Barbie” and “Wicked” were shot there, too.

Studios also frequently produce films in Canada and Australia. They typically fly out lead actors, directors and department heads but hire the crew locally.

California, New York, New Jersey and Texas are among the states fighting back by expanding their film and television tax credits. The result has been a global merry-go-round of production activity as studios search for the best deal.

Georgia’s entertainment boom began after it expanded its production tax credit in 2008 to a maximum of 30%, one of the most generous in the world. Unlike other states, it didn’t put a cap on the program, so producers could be sure they’d get back nearly a third of the money they spent.

Lionsgate’s Hunger Games and Universal’s Fast & Furious film franchises shot in Georgia, as did Netflix’s series “Stranger Things” and AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Marvel was the most important studio, according to local crew workers, because the 22 movies and shows it produced in the state had big budgets and employed many hundreds of people.

Experienced entertainment workers moved to Atlanta for work. Natives who never dreamed of heading to Hollywood found themselves on sets next to Dwayne Johnson and Jennifer Lawrence. The entertainment industry supported nearly 20,000 jobs in the state, according to a 2023 study by researchers at Georgia State University.

Marvel did most of its interior shooting at a 1,000-acre, 34-stage facility near Atlanta called Trilith Studios. It was frequently full. “We were fighting over stages on a daily basis because there just wasn’t enough room for Marvel and whatever other show was trying to film,” said Lenzi Sealy, who scouted locations for four Marvel projects.

Now Trilith, which has a village with apartments and restaurants for visiting workers, is largely empty.

Trilith Chief Executive Frank Patterson said he believes the current downturn is a cyclical one that will end. To keep the facility busy until then, his company has invested in startups making content exclusively at Trilith.

Sealy remembers the moment during production of February’s “Captain America: Brave New World” when word spread among anxious crew members that it might be Marvel’s last movie in Georgia. Then the studio held an auction to sell props it had accumulated during its decade in the state.
