So, I made a TikTok about how we need to be talking more about #freework in #screenwriting. Then it came to my attention that… a lot of people don’t know what a rewrite is, or how one-step deals work. So I did a basic breakdown! #wgastrong #wgastrike tiktok.com/t/ZTRK7gcQx/
Here’s the original video. I stand by it! We need to be talking more about feature issues, even if they aren’t buzzy like AI or mini-rooms or minimum staff sizes. tiktok.com/t/ZTRK7qHdr/
Ever since I joined the WGA in 2012, one-step feature deals have been a pervasive problem. And you know the Companies. If they can get away with some shenanigans in one place, they’ll try to expand it to other areas until it becomes normal everywhere.
The AMPTP knows the WGA is now made up of about 67-75% TV writers. They will make offers on TV issues to send that group back to work, tempting us to ignore screen issues AGAIN. We can’t do that. No deal without a two-step guarantee and addressing weekly compensation in features.
