7 yrs is AVERAGE time it takes to break into the industry as a writer. That number ever rising w/ unfair pay & mini rooms. Meaning fewer writers hired (esp not rich, white & male) & very little opportunities for support staff despite being asked to do more than ever.

Why are residuals essential for
#WGAStrike
writers? It’s what we get for studios owning our writing. As unlike w/ novels, plays, songs, we don’t get to retain the copywrite for what we create into existence. In exchange, we get residuals. But streamers have decimated that system.

Here’s the thing: The AMPTP can more than afford to pay us fairly for our work. Our work that makes them BILLIONS. They just don’t want to. Together we must hold them accountable until they do. We’re literally asking for less than 2% of their overall profits.

AI can never replicate real human experiences. It doesn’t know what loss, love, struggle, laughter, empathy, discrimination or wonder feels like. But w/o regulation, it will eliminate many human jobs & suck the humanity out of storytelling. All losing if that happens.

Writing happens throughout making film & TV. When the ideas are developed & written. On set w/ rewrites & joke punch ups. During post when dialogue is adjusted for cuts to make sense. Otherwise the creative work suffers. Pay writers for our work at every stage. Period.
