Friends:

The writers strike began at Midnight. It will last until the writers and studios are able to agree on many terms, ultimately regarding pay. This is an important fight for you as well because many of these terms will affect actors when the SAG contract expires in a couple of months.

While on strike:

Writers cannot write on a TV show, sell a movie script or accept a writing job on a TV show or film.
Writers can continue to finish up a TV episode if it is already being shot.
Movies that have already been written are allowed to shoot as long as the writer is not involved.

While it will be slow, as it has been in anticipation of this strike, any self-tape you are sent is still valid.

Finally. Per SAG rules, actors are not allowed to strike in solidarity with the writers.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

We will weather the storm. Let’s hope for a quick resolution.

Hi All,

As you all may have heard the Writers Guild of America is planning on going on strike on May 1. This has caused a virtual standstill in films and new shows being picked up and additional episodes being ordered of existing series. We wanted to explain why it is so very slow in our industry right now. It’s a great time to take classes, get new pictures if yours are out of date, and clean out your closets. Hopefully, it will be settled quickly and things will pick up. Rest assured that, even if there is a strike, all of us will be working with the development executives and the talent executives at the studios and networks, so that we are prepared when the strike ends.

Love to all!

Thank You,

Raphael Berko
