Independent producers behind some of the country’s most popular movies and TV shows are turning to K Street for the first time as the coronavirus pandemic threatens to reshape the entertainment industry, <em>The Hill</em> reported. Smaller production companies like MRC Entertainment, which was behind the blockbuster film “Knives Out” and the Netflix series “Ozark,” have banded together to form the American Coalition for Independent Content Producers (ACICP). They’re seeking financial relief from Congress like the kind extended to other major industries. While the pandemic has delayed production for both big and small studios, independent companies say they desperately need Congress to pass a coronavirus relief package that has been stalled for months.
