LAEDC CEO Bill Allen shared his excitement on this week’s Amazon Studios announcement:

“LAEDC welcomes and celebrates this major expansion of Amazon Studios in L.A. County, and we look forward to helping facilitate the move of Amazon Studios, IMDb, Amazon Video and World Wide Advertising to the historic Culver Studios in Culver City. L.A. is the creative capital of the world, and given our unrivaled collection of creative, technical and marketing talent, we can think of no better place to serve as a platform for the next phase of Amazon’s extraordinary growth in entertainment and digital media.”
