the market does not want bangers. the market wants easily digestible calling card work by early career filmmakers who can be slotted into big IP work and lucrative TV directing gigs that will cover their agents/publicists/attorneys bottom line.

What a huge missed opportunity.

I AM FINE

Getting your IATSE // #IASolidarity bond back has become harder than getting the movie made.

I’d love to sponsor a writer’s entry into The Nicholl Fellowship—

No. What's crazy is the minimum wage needed to afford an average 3-bedroom apartment in LA County is $42.73 an hour.

What's crazy is McDonald's making $8.4 billion in profits last year, spending $7.6 billion on stock buybacks & dividends & paying its CEO $8,543.27 an hour.

So many of you asked why and here's your answer. Programmers are underpaid, and often underappreciated. This kind of work environment just wasn't worth it for my fellow programmers anymore. Solidarity &❤️

Brava Rebecca Green Dear Producer for breaking down why PGA healthcare press release is just that, a press release & why we need something way stronger to save our craft, our profession, and ourselves. #producing dearproducer.com/the-pga-health…

I just finished transferring thousands of raw and editorial files that were on 10yr old hard drives onto new drives. What was on 9 drives is now all on 2, I have a copy and my producing partner has a backup. Boring task, but essential to preserve the two films.

You know it was just Bradley Cooper

Cillian Murphy is the perfect corporate example of what it feels like to LOVE what you do but HATE attending meetings and answering emails

The question isn’t whether or not it can be done, it’s how you want to pay people. To be SAG, IATSE, Teamster signatory at less than 3mil is barely doable. We can’t talk about lack of sustainability while also not properly compensating our crew and ourselves.

They could do without all the quotes from filmmakers saying how much they love theaters and give the details of how they structured the deal so others can replicate in different cities.
