Anyone who still thinks these actors are rich are living under a rock. It was explained before, during, and after the strikes. Streaming actors are not getting residuals and they get paid during their time on set. And we all know how long it takes to film a season 2 of anything.
In June 2000, Robin Williams sat down for a conversation with George Lucas for Robin's brief weekly interview show on audible. The episode was originally thirty minutes but below you'll find the entire raw recording from two different sessions, with discussions ranging from Marlon Brando as Jabba the Hutt, to Lucas asking if Robin would voice a CG Howard the Duck for a special edition of the '86 movie 👏 Really cool
Everyone wants to give grief to the designer who vented online, but Hollywood is probably the most predatory industry for creative people. For people breaking in so much of the creative side is built on “we’ll get you in the next one” or “we’ll get you on the other end” - and it never happens. Studios do everything to show they have not made a profit. Most Indie directors upgrade to more experienced crew and artists after their big break - which makes sense given studio expectations. But it leaves the below the line artists behind.
So maybe don’t vilify the artist who is struggling to make a living while other people profit off her work and succeed on her efforts. I’ve been there. It’s why I always make an effort to ensure anyone I work with walks away compensated and feeling valued.
I mean sure - venting publicly online is never the smartest move, but she’s not wrong.
Directors honestly being good at making movies is cool. But what separates directors is "do I get a finished product."
I don't think you guys know how many directors simply don't finish movies or commercials in the industry 😅.... It's a big problem...
Ppl are defending the “New Yorker” conversation so hard b/c they moved here thinking they would be bigger than the program. They are having a hard time realizing no one cares b/c NYC is THEEE only program. Born & breed New Yorker’s run the strictest program of them all.
everyone loves art but hates artists. every has a favorite song or movie or tv show or book or joke or item of clothing but when the creative human beings who pour their souls into making these things speak up about exploitation, people hate it and tell us to stfu ... wild
There are hundreds of films that are funded for 10-40M. Hell even 500K-5M and never finish post production. They simply vanish. Everyone got paid. The film never saw light. Every single year. Most filmmakers never see the completed film we work on. It doesn't finish
