it makes sense that @LisaCullen is running unopposed as @WGAEast prez because there's no one else we should be voting for. A dream candidate for our dream (soon to be real) future.
@WillWGraham Hey Will! I was an SC for years and was staffed because my showrunner insisted I stay on set due to no other writers / she vouched for me to get bumped. I’m lucky this happened - I’ve had incredible bosses who “didn’t have money” to promote, due to minuscule budgets.
If you’re a writer who has been a crew member at an earlier point in your career, I urge you to help other writers understand that while we need to shut shows down, we need to be careful about the celebratory nature of this. 1/ #WGA
I have not worked as a Staff Writer in 2 years, despite taking over 80 generals since my last job. Current standards have made it impossibly competitive. Passing the SVA is the only way any of us in this position will have a chance to work again. #voteyes#wgastrong#wgaeast
Yes, I know that VF Article about the Titanic / PCP incident is making the rounds again. If you want to read a script that goes into those 12 hours on a boat in Nova Scotia… DM me. I’ve had it for years.
@westelm I'm still sleeping on my couch since no one can give me a call / answer my questions, and my mattress is leaning against my wall unable to be put in the bed I paid for.
@westelm curious about why you would deliver a bed frame with no slats, and tell me that the slats can't come for another 2 months (after I waited 3), leaving my mattress in the middle of my living room propped against the wall.
Script Coordinating is the only “entry level” tv/film job where you can completely destabilize a multimillion dollar project by making a single mistake at the wrong moment.
one of the joys of adulthood is watching all your friends realize they can just adopt a cat. nothing is stopping them. and then they do that. and upload a million pictures of it.
