The film industry is being asked not to push the panic button. 

There's a lot of uncertainty after US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 100% tariff on films produced outside the US. 

In a post on Truth Social, he says the US film industry is ‘dying a very fast death’ as countries offer incentives to lure filmmaking away from Hollywood. 

Screen Production and Development Association President Irene Gardiner told Mike Hosking his terminology is quite confusing. 

She says she doesn't know how Trump will be able to do what he's talking about, but that might become clearer in the next few days.
