SUMMER '23 - WGA AND SAG-AFTRA STRIKE

Hey Folks, it's been a minute... Hope your summer is off to a kickass start! Mine is. We're experiencing a heatwave here in lovely Los Angeles. Triple digit temperatures. The sidewalks feel like mini ovens and yet WGA and SAG-AFTRA members are out pounding the hot pavement with picket signs (some deserve writing awards on this creativity alone)... the strike lines got a lot better lookin' once the SAG actors showed up outside Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California... apparently actors have way more time to workout, or at least that's what us writers like to say. We sit way too much writing scripts! Get up and jump into action. It feels great to get outdoors, into the sunshine and high-90s temps to walk in support of labor and unions. Here are a couple of pics I took on the front lines.
Mega talented, Academy Award winning actor Allison Janney (of I, Tonya and The West Wing fame) was there to walk/march/chant. CJ Cregg represents! Love her. Along with many familiar faces from TV and film. Stay strong, WGA and SAG-AFTRA! Together you can impact the lives of thousands by sticking to your principles and guaranteeing a better contract for all.
Happy Summer! Stay cool. Until next time...
