Defending Creative Livelihood: The Fight Against AMPTP's Proposal and Understanding the Impact of a Hollywood StrikeImagine a world where executives own the likeness of background performers for eternity without consent or compensation. This is the chilling future we could face if the AMPTP Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have their way. I'm TIwana Floyd, and during this episode, I'll shed light on the significance of SAG AFTRA's solidarity with the WGA in their fight against this dystopian proposal. We'll discuss how a strike, akin to the writer's strike of 2007, will not just impact actors but also have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. And we will address the uninformed objections from non-industry folks about actors' earnings and the need for us to stand together in this battle.But the world of acting isn't just about strikes and struggles. It's also about the investment actors make towards their craft, from headshots to subscription websites, and the professional image they maintain for auditions. We'll explore the financial implications of the SAG-AFTRA strike, including how withholding performance from struck employers can affect the industry. As we navigate this tumultuous period, I'll share tips on supporting our show, preserving our professional images, and joining the fight for creative livelihood.
