After six months, the dual Hollywood strikes are over. But now what? With the writers' and actors' new contracts estimated to add 10% to the cost of making a show, many worry studios will offset that expense by simply producing less, and doing away with jobs in the process. Even for productions that were already underway when the strikes began, restarting will be tough, adding $500,000 to $4 million to some budgets, The New York Times reports, citing anonymous sources. The strikes are over, but the costs may keep piling up.

Hi, I'm Kacie and I'm a SAG-Aftra Actor. What a tough season this strike has been for us actors. Many of us went from 5 auditions a week to 1 or 2 in the past 118 days. We stood in solidarity not to just fight for our rights, but for the sanctity of art and the singular and unique value humans bring to the medium. I hope you all share in this with us. I hope you all go to the movies this weekend. Or spend an evening at your regional theatre. And I hope you open yourself to connecting to the deeply human and vulnerable experience of an actor extending their hand and letting you know...you are seen.

?? The SAG-AFTRA union and studios reached a tentative $1 billion agreement after a four-month work stoppage. Companies that rely on original content and advertising, however, like Warner Bros. Discovery, were reeling. Warner Bros suffered a Wall Street drubbing this week after it backed away from its 2024 leverage targets, citing uncertainty surrounding the length of the actors' strike and a weak ad market. Its television production business has been hard-hit by the work stoppage.

I'm so happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It will take some time to recover from this, but I hope all the talented artists that lost their jobs in recent months can begin see work coming back and we can all start creating again!

https://lnkd.in/gvBXhFm4 Unprecedented strike followed by the "billion dollar" agreement that will bring Hollywood and the Entertainment Industry back to work. The monetary losses are staggering world-wide. The support offered to businesses and individuals was unheard of in the past but it will take years for that to get back to the norm. Congratulations to the negotiating team at SAG-AFTRA in holding the line and fighting for the future of artists and the creative process.

SAG-AFTRA negotiators have approved a tentative agreement that will end the longest actors strike against the film and TV studios in Hollywood history. In an announcement Wednesday, the union said the strike would officially end at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday. The union’s negotiating committee approved the deal on a unanimous vote. The agreement next goes to the SAG-AFTRA national board for approval on Friday. Full story here: https://lnkd.in/gA2VatS4

In light of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes finally reaching a productive conclusion, I hope that we carry this energy into next year when TAG and IATSE's contracts are due for renewal, and should we forsee another strike coming I hope the entertainment industry backs animation and theatrical production workers the same way.
