Well, it's official. #SAGAFTRA members have finally ratified the 2023 TV & Theatrical contract. Sure hope the #AI protections will be solid enough.
Not sure what productions are happening right now, with just a few weeks left 'til the #NewYear.
Looking forward to getting back to auditioning in January, tho.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to object and bargain if someone wanted to replace you at work with a machine, instead of being sorely out of luck (S.O.L.)?
The tentative agreement aims to make that dream a reality, if it ratifies: https://bit.ly/DominionOverTheMachines
via Duncan Crabtree-Ireland: “An insightful analysis from the law professor who was the USA's chief negotiator of the international treaty a protecting actors’ performances. Check it out…”
Watching the second Contract Roundtable talk about the tentative agreement, and happy to be seeing what David Blue & Jen Levin put together.
Thankful for them and Ben Whitehair,
Jason Winston George, Woody Schultz, Charlie Bodin, Natalia Castellanos, Nicole Cyrille, Frances Fisher and everyone who has worked so hard for so many.
In the article, Iger reveals he just learned a good story matters, & he believes he’s been fixing things at the company which has faced 2 proxy fights this year, triggered 1st dual strike in ½ century & the longest actors strike in film history, & he’s personally being sued by multiple groups of investors. Bob, you are the problem. It’s you, chucklehead.
“You think that’s bunk? Read the papers!”
I wasn’t going to share this. But then one of the four fools calls themselves courageous, and I think: they earned, and keep earning, the disrespect their destructive choices bring.
Actors: Vote yes for the 2023 Film/TV SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement with the AMPTP by Tuesday, December 5, 2023.
