* Regarding a writers’ strike: While only half the writers may be working any given year, most of us in the film industry are lucky to work half the year. While the writers want more than the median $84,000 a year, I’d like more than $100 a day. So everything might shut down because the writers want more. Well, they aren’t making any friends with the production assistants, caterers, security and other crew members who will suffer the greatest due to their greed.
We may not have a job without the story, but without us the story doesn’t get told. Unless, of course, they take the job to Canada.
