HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Disney scanned every background actor in WandaVision without giving them any explanation of how it may be used, asking them to make various facial expressions like “surprised” and “scared”.
There are 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA, with at least 87% unable to meet the minimum for healthcare eligibility. Actors are usually working-class, without achieving million-dollar earnings or attending red carpet awards ceremonies. #ActorsStrike to make things better.
I was at the picket line outside WB Discovery on 19th St yesterday and the energy was huge and powerful and positive. Then I came home and ran into my UPS guy on the block and he said WE WON OUR BATTLE YOU WILL WIN YOURS
The shirts are all union printed and all net proceeds go to the Entertainment Community Fund to help support those impacted by the strikes. I’ve been happy to help them with some SAG-AFTRA designs.
There’s noise from people who don’t get it + shouldn’t be talking because they have no facts. Proud to be SAG-AFTRA but 87% don’t qualify for health insurance as we don’t make $26,000 a year. I work 2 jobs to make ends meet. What we’re asking for is absolute peanuts. It’s bare minimum scraps + billionaires have the audacity to say we’re unrealistic. We deserve so much more than what we’re asking for, but they’d rather replace us with robots. Stand up for us #sagaftrastrong#sagaftrastrike
We are in the middle of a massive paradigm shift. The entertainment "game" is about to change - for the better - for all artists, if not labor in general
The era of the "mogul," at least in terms of an "old Hollywood" definition, is over.
An anonymous Apple executive says out loud what we all suspected: they won’t deal because then they’d have to pay everyone what they’re worth for the work they do, and DGA’s proposed deal leaves them unprotected from replacement.
