Understanding that the studio playbook tends to be how unreasonable and irrational and uneducated about the way the business really works, waiting for those fists to fly. “I trust the leadership and the members of the negotiating committee, many of whom I stuck within 2007. – Elizabeth Olsen, Emmy-nominated actress for “WandaVision” as said on the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast And it goes on a streaming service, and they don’t see a penny after.” Actors who used to be able to live off residuals - can’t anymore because they get paid for one day. “We need to reimagine structurally how people of all levels can continue to make a living now that we have these streaming services. Rafael Agustín, writer for “Jane the Virgin” Still, the AMPTP insisted on stopping an entire industry as opposed to properly compensating the labor force that helps them make billions.”
I’m angry because the WGA is inevitably going to win. There’s nothing without the storytellers. “Hollywood is an industry that runs on stories. Charise Castro Smith, writer and co-director of “Encanto” (2021) Thankfully our union is willing to take a stand, and I hope this can be resolved soon.” And it’s my job, and I love it, and I want this to keep being a viable career for future generations. My life has been shaped by stories - created by writers. The future of writing as a profession is at stake.
There’s an equity component to the demands, too, because so many young writers of color coming into the industry get boxed out, stuck as staff writers, or forced to do free work.
The guild’s proposals are fair and reflect the reality that writers shape culture and deserve to be able to provide for their families. But I’m also proud of our guild’s solidarity and grateful to the negotiating committee for all their hard work. “I’m feeling the historical gravity of this moment, worried about how this will affect writers and our entire industry. Charise Castro Smith (Writer, Director).Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Oscar winners for “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”
The sooner the studios get serious about making one, the better for all of us.”
