I have a goal. In the next 3 years I want to be able to take my parents on a trip to New Zealand with airfare and lodging covered by me. I don’t know how I’m going to do this but at christmas in 2021 (or earlier) I want to present them with the plane tickets.
And then my Mom died. But I did save up enough. All that’s been spent on surviving during a nearly year long work slow down/strike instead.
I don’t think I’m gonna make it dude.
remember that time I said it was the producers people should be angry at in Hollywood and I was told I wanted a special medal? Now the whole industry is on strike because of the producers, lmao. Guess I really was wrong huh? 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
not them reblogging from their assistant director sideblog
This is literally my main blog? Do you think I’m also the other person who commented? Lmao you’re hilarious
okay sorry. do you like me btw
Nah, I just mistook your post as actually caring about the below the line crew being overworked and underpaid. My bad, go chase your clout.

actors are overpaid to keep the rest of the crew underpaid so that the producers and directors can keep siphoning off money to keep themselves rich without anyone ever really batting an eye and the only activism actors are ever going to engage in is "why as a woman am i only being paid $3 million as opposed to that white man being paid $8 million? 🤨" meanwhile the non-union crew that the director hired because union workers asks for "too much" is 1 bounced check away from poverty
You’re missing a decent amount of information here. Directors are not siphoning off money because they don’t have that kind of power. Also, crews HAVE to be union on just about everything you’ve watched. There are actual rules involving unions stating that with certain budgets/certain amounts of money paid towards one union, the other unions must be hired as well. You will rarely ever seen union actors working on non union shoots because of how union agreements work. Yes, below the line workers are paid shit pay, but that goes for BOTH union and non union. Also, you seem to think directors have a lot more control than they do. Directors DO NOT get to decide who’s in their crew and who they’re hiring. The most directors are ever allowed to pick are a handful of actors and the heads of the departments.
um kind of confused why you chose to reblog this post directly from the source instead of with the addition, where i linked to the video i'm referencing that goes into all this in more detail. anyway i believe u, im sure a lot of directors actually don't have that much power over crew and casting, but since this post references salaries worth "millions of dollars" i'm sure you can glean that i was talking about big budget productions where the people tapped to direct DO in fact have that kind of power. rest assured, i'm not trying to rag on your indie favs
Directors still don’t select crew outside of maybe the DP and 1st AD. They wouldn’t even know where to begin with hiring a prop master, gaffer, key grip or craft services person. But yeah, they all get paid way too much and us crew (even union crew, and on all the big budget things you’re talking about are union crew) are getting shafted more and more everyday, especially as the streaming companies turn the industry into a factory more than an artistic field. Actors think they’re underpaid when they have practically no responsibility and that we should just be happy to be on a set with them while the producers have realized they can make us work 18 hour days and it costs them barely anything. It’s the producers you wanna be angry at.
awww wait i get it. you want a medal :(
Lol sure. Or i want the people responsible for this to actually be the ones called out. Either way 🥰

The social-media platform’s status as a relic of the Internet has attracted prodigal users as well as new ones.
positive press? for tumblr???? my gd.......
we fucked up its getting more profitable
EXCUSE ME!?
What just happened!?
IATSE and their new contracts happened, and this is a VERY GOOD THING. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has, under threat of an industry-wide strike by film and TV crew supported by the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild, and the Screen Writers Guild, finally agreed to negotiate better working conditions, longer turn around times to allow crew to rest between shifts, and better pay for material being put on streaming services.
What this tells us is that Marvel was using backbreaking conditions to get their shit made, and these delays are because they've been forced to actually ensure safe and fair working conditions and adequate compensation for the people working on their projects.
The IATSE strike didn’t affect this and the contract is even approved yet, lol.

info on the situation from the IATSE website, Sept. 21, 2021
If you enjoy watching movies and tv, you should care about what we go through to make it for you. There's no guarantee we'll actually have to strike yet but please keep an eye on this situation.

STURBRIDGE — If you saw hellish flames reaching into the night sky Tuesday originating from Old Sturbridge Village, your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you.
This is a wonderful article from a local paper – The Worcester Telegram – about The Devil You Know filming at Old Sturbridge Village, a living museum. Last Tuesday (March 24, 2015), production burned down a barn built specifically for the purpose on the premises of the museum.
The article says some very positive things about the impact the production crew had on the museum and the town as a whole.
(As an aside: This is my part of the world; it’s so neat to hear about Eddie Izzard visiting places I’ve been!)
Old Sturbridge Village depicts life in a New England town in the 1830s. Although this is more than a hundred years later than the setting of The Devil You Know, which takes place during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, it is easy to see how the museum would be an amazing location and resource for the producers of the show.
An Eddie-centric excerpt from the article:
Christopher Rovezzi, owner and chef at Rovezzi’s Ristorante, did a vigorous Twitter campaign to get “The Devil You Know” cast and crew into his restaurant. He even accosted the pilot’s lead actor, Eddie Izzard, on the street.
“I offered our restaurant to him,” Mr. Rovezzi said. “I said, ‘Even television and movie people have to eat at some point.’ I told him we’re here for him, gave him a business card and that was that.”
Mr. Rovezzi’s tenacity paid off. Mr. Izzard, along with fellow cast members Nadia Alexander, Ewen Bremner and Julian Rhind-Tutt, dined at the restaurant late Tuesday night. Before leaving, Mr. Rovezzi apologized to Mr. Izzard.
“I said, 'Look, I feel I might have come on too strong by approaching you,’ ” Mr. Rovezzi recalled. 'And Eddie said his philosophy is 'hustle not hassle,’ meaning hustle in life and work hard. 'That’s what you did. You hustled and you got us in here and it worked.’ “

I had this one in the works for ages, and I finally pulled myself out of the old rut to finish it. I know the 70′s and beyond isn’t really “Old Hollywood”, but I had to be consistent.
