For a month and two days, there has been a strike going on in Los Angeles: The WGA. (Buy their strike swag) They are striking to get more residuals from their performances showing up on different platforms. The Studios (represented by the AMPTP -- the association of Producers) are opposed to releasing any funds for the writers. Come accounting time, writers are last on the list regarding movies, but first on the TV side.
The writer's strike has halted filming around town. All TV shows (one of which my sister and her fiancee work on) have halted. Scripts from five or ten years ago are being filmed (the answer to the Jeopardy question: Where do all the Spec Scripts go?) To follow this strike read Deadline Hollywood Daily and check out this post by Jason.
As a soon to be writer of novels (who hope the rights get bought to be filmed), I like the writers. I honk in support as I pass (listening to Right Wing Talk Radio as I go by). But, here is my trade:
I will support the WGA in their quest for better residuals if they can finally write a script about a Lone Conservative Blogger who goes against a power mad female Democratic candidate and wins. You can also film it in LA and DC. Deal?

ReplyDeleteJSF, think snowflake and bonfire and that would be your chances there...LOL
Try a Muslim-Bahai (mixed) single mother with gay parents who fathered her child with a priest and who has been hounded by anti-abortionists. Now there is a winning script for you. Think you can run that one up? ;)
Hi Aurora,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you were able to get through your blind hatred of the massive liberal media plot to oppress you for the 6 and a half or so minutes to see my funny movie on the subject. If you prefer, you can turn the color way down on your monitor and it can be in the same kind of black and white that you view the world.
