Thank you Stacy Perman and the @latimes for this lovely perspective of the Writers Strike. Now that it’s been written about in the press, guess I really have to finish this book 😅 latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
They're on strike, but these writers are finding ways to write and create

They're on strike, but these writers are finding ways to write and create

The impulse to write is strong, as thousands of TV and film writers in the WGA are discovering while on strike. Might as well tell a hen to not lay eggs.

AI is coming. And it will disrupt every. Single. Industry. This fight is bigger than Hollywood. It’s about survival. The corporations behind the studios know that WHEN we win, it will inspire an unprecedented labor movement across this country. 72 days, and fighting on…

Sixty-three years ago, the WGA and SAG struck together to change the business model around a (then-twelve-year-old) new technology, television. We’re gonna do it again for streaming. And we’re gonna do it for AI and set a template for every other industry around the world.

Maybe they should’ve hired a writer to make their mustache-twirling scare tactics feel more grounded and dimensional 😳

Word on the street… The AMPTP was split on publishing their comically evil “kick WGA writers out of their homes” Deadline piece — and were SCREAMING at each other on a video call after it backfired. Stay strong actors and writers, the companies are terrified.

This will be the first actors strike against the film and television industry since 1980 and the first time that actors and writers have been on strike at the same time since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild Picketing begins tomorrow deadline.com/2023/07/actors-…

SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee voted unanimously to recommend to the National Board a strike of the Producers-SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical/Streaming Contracts which expired July 12, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. PT. SAG-AFTRA’s National Board will vote Thursday morning on whether to strike.

THIS PART. If studio execs don’t give a crap about preserving art as a human endeavor, they should at least selfishly care that they will be INFINITELY easier to replace than creators.

I find it strange that we hear so much about the threat that AI poses to writers, and almost nothing about the much bigger threat it poses to the need for execs.

I’d posit the greatest disunity within the #WGAStrike right now is between those who want it to remain cloudy, and those who are ready for a Hot Girl Summer.

Pro tip: if you see a young Black writer walking by herself on the pickets, your opening line should not be: “I’ve seen you walking around here nonstop. Are you homeless?” 🙃

And to clarify, this was an older writer attempting to be “funny” but methinks he needs a joke punch up

"They cannot officially engage in bartering with the WGA." There is no official rule preventing the studios from making a fair deal with writers while in negotiations with another union. It's the studios' choice to let the strike continue. #WGAstrong #WritersStrike #1u

The new HBO Max (MAX) has eliminated writer/director credits in their interface in favor of a vague "Creators." This is what Raging Bull currently looks like. It's so fucking over.
