I suppose it's a great time to be a creative professional in TV/film (not sure whether that distinction even matters anymore).

- jumelles 7y agoAbsolutely. And it's important to keep in mind that were it not for unions (SAG-AFTRA and IATSE mainly) it would likely be a very different story, with low wages and unsafe working conditions.
- stevenwoo 7y agoThere's a story this week in the Los Angeles Times detailing the struggles of assistants in the entertainment industry where a lot of professionals got their start, mirroring the strike in the fictional Hollywoo of Bojack Horseman's latest half season, somehow the streaming wars are pointed at for causing worse working conditions/prolonging time as assistant. "Shorter seasons, longer hiatuses and the increase in limited series have greatly impacted residuals and opportunities while introducing more financial insecurity." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2019-11-02/la-et-ct-hollywood-assistants-revolt https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/20...
- arcticfox 7y agoProbably, especially a good one. For the longest time almost anything Netflix made was good -- now they seem to be struggling to get talent. These days they're having to approve steaming garbage like 'Another Life' (6% on Rotten Tomatoes - it's painfully bad) just to keep churning out content.
