In phillipstribune latest column, 'Now in its third week, the Writers Guild of America strike affects its 11,500 members and, more and more, the work you’re watching on one screen or another, and the work you aren’t.'
Members of the Writers Guild of America picket outside a Peacock NewFront presentation event by NBC Universal on May 2, 2023, in New York City.
The WGA strike has shut down production on an increasing number of shows, Showtime’s ”The Chi” being the most recent Chicago example. Filming sites have been disrupted and, in more and more cases, shut down by strike actions; creators of projects in postproduction have halted work for now, in solidarity. And unless an 11th-hour solution can be reached and the WGA issues a modified strike waiver, there won’t be a Tony Awards show televised this year on June 11.
This was the realization for me: that the writing is not necessarily done when the alleged final draft is delivered, in this case, actual hours before filming began.Right. The non-writer should not have been writing. Mike and I talk about this a lot; we’ve been commiserating a lot since he moved back from Los Angeles.
