Dispatches From The Picket Lines: Striking Writers & Actors Hit NYC Streets Amid Glum News About Contract Talks
23.08.2023 - 23:03 / deadline.com
This is Day 114 of the WGA strike and Day 41 of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Writers on a picket line in New York City on Wednesday said they were disappointed by the potential collapse of contract talks with film and television producers but determined to carry on with the strike.
“The producers are being quite dramatic, and I think what’s going to happen, sadly, is the talks are going to break down,” said Bill Scheft, who received multiple Emmy nominations for writing during his 24 years with David Letterman’s late-night shows and served as a WGA shop steward there.
Scheft, who also belongs to SAG-AFTRA, was marching Wednesday morning outside Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery offices in Manhattan at a SAG-AFTRA Young Performers Picket attended by about 100 people. Many woke up to the news that negotiations on the West Coast seemingly had imploded overnight, with the AMPTP leaking its August 11 offer to writers and the guild deriding the move as a ploy “to jam us.”
“Yesterday there was kind of a sense of hope that maybe this was coming to an end,” said Peter R. Feuchtwanger, a recent Academy Nicholl screenwriting fellow and member of the International Screenwriters Development Slate who hopes to join the Guild. “Today, it looks like the end is not exactly in sight yet. But the resolve among writers has not changed in the slightest.”
Wednesday’s picket was light on the advertised young performers. A handful turned out including Swayam “Sway” Bhatia (Succession, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers), Samantha A. Smith (Saturdays, The Best Man: The Final Chapters) and Julien Lerner (The Wonder Years) to join the procession of chanting, sign-carrying marchers.
