Uncertainty Breeds Chaos: Tariffs Impact Major Hollywood Production Company and Congressional Response

Jim Sanfilippo, a Pasadena small-business owner and designer of specialized LED lights used in stadiums and film productions, is facing uncertainty due to the U.S.’s highest effective tariff rate in nearly a century. Recent tariffs, including a 145% levy on Chinese goods, threaten to impact his energy-efficient lights, which are largely assembled from parts made in Asia. Sanfilippo describes an environment of chaos and unpredictability, as customers hesitate to place orders amid fluctuating tariffs. U.S. Rep. Judy Chu highlighted the potential economic downturn for small businesses like Sanfilippo’s company, Nila, which has adapted by securing a two-year supply of parts but is now considering alternative manufacturing strategies, including potentially relocating production to Mexico. As he grapples with changing tariffs and their implications, Sanfilippo is reshaping his business focus on international clients and consulting, all while navigating a turbulent trade landscape.
