Let me talk to you about tonight’s episode of #CSIVegas. “Rat Packed” is airing at 10/9c on CBS and @paramountplus in spite of two strikes, RSV, covid, food poisoning, scheduling snafus, and a nightmare freeway closure. We have the best crew in the biz and nothing can stop them!
There are some great performances in this episode, my second #CSIVegas with the esteemed Omar Madha, who somehow ends up directing all my kookiest scripts that also have rough emotional scenes for Folsom (and Matt Lauria knocks it out of the park)
CAPE #CNWF alumni roll deep on #CSIVegas.
Rode shotgun with @paperfisherman for a few days on his most recent episode. Ryan wrote and produced a big, cool hour of TV that’s going to knock your socks off when it airs.
CSIV’s third season premieres this Sunday 10/9c on CBS!
I would welcome our SAG-AFTRA friends to the picket lines... but they've been out here with us since day one, marching in solidarity. Proud to stand beside them as both our unions fight to get back to work on a fair contract #WGAstrong#SAGAFTRAstrong#HotLaborSummer
Every writer you know had to fight like hell to get where they are. And not just financially, that’s a given. They had to fight doubt from people who loved them, including themselves. They had to sit in a room alone and believe enough to gamble their lives on it.
As support staff we would rely on writers pooling together their own cash for “holiday bonuses” IE paying us out of their own pockets for the month studios would lay us off to save a buck. As a writer now I’ve helped do the same for support staff. WHO’S DOING THE HURTING?!?
I made baby strike signs so kids can picket at their schools, playgrounds and places of employment. Dry erasable for your child’s particular grievance. Let me know if you want one!
Shoutout to the lady who came out to the picket line at Amazon with fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies for us this afternoon. Thank you for your support and your baking skills and the landscaping outside your apartment is lovely! #wgastrike#wgastrong
I've had a lot of non-members outside LA ask how to show solidarity for the #wgastrike -- consider a donation to the Entertainment Community Fund to help support crew and other non-writer employees affected by the strike. This thread explains how:
@teresapalooza@megfitz89@extspace I took multiple hits to the head from my own sign outside Fox. I will either have biceps of steel or a concussion count by the end of this thing.
BREAKING: Hollywood writers are striking.
They’re fighting for their livelihoods against billion-dollar studios and streaming companies who have been squeezing writers to eke out more profits.
Writers didn’t shut down Hollywood — the studios did.
I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.
The Board of Directors of the @WGAwest and the Council of the @WGAeast, acting upon the authority granted to them by their memberships, have voted unanimously to call a strike, effective 12:01 AM, Tuesday, May 2.
I wrote the penultimate episode of #CSIVegas season 2! It airs May 11th and as I clarified on set literally every day of the shoot, "Shell Game" is about PISTACHIOS. (And murder. Always murder.)
