It seems it's getting slow again....

Compared to a year ago where we all had the pick of the litter on movie projects, this year it seems very dry. Sure we have Edge and the just wrapped Don Mckay, but that seems to be it as of now. Could be that other states are giving out bigger tax cuts to Hollywood? could be also. But all we can do is continue and take it one project at a time and see what the future brings.

Moderator there is no SAG strike -- do not use that phrase, someone is going to pick it up and before you know it everyone will think there is a strike. THERE IS NOT.
There is a dramatic slowdown thanks to the incompetent Alan Rosenberg of SAG, and his refusal to sit down and negotiate. This is most unfortunate, as it makes producers hesitant to start a production IN CASE a strike were to happen mid-prouduction. But for an actual strike to occur would require a vote of all SAG members countrywide. That has not happened. Please choose your words more responsibly!

People agreeing to work and not showing up.

I was on a project yesterday (Mall Cop) which was a nice experience and worked with nice people. What amazed some people is that there were a few no-shows, what I had said to them is don't be too surprised because this happens more than you think. When that happens that screws a lot of people up first the production because they are expecting their numbers for that day, and people that actually wanted to work that day. So if you can't make it on that project for any reason please call the casting director the day prior so they can fill in your spot. It's the best thing you can do in that situation to still be good with the casting directors and the production.

Keep your political views home..

I was working on E.O.D just recently and here we are in holding for a few hours as usual and here we have someone preaching about which canadate we should choose. Now we all know which one we want to choose and that is our personal opinion, but do not tell us who to vote for. At one point one person yelled from across the room and told this guy to "end it" because this is "not the place for that", I totally agree. Keep that outside, we are here to work and have fun and no one needs that.

Portions of the SAG strike my be resolved sooner than later.

What I have heard as of late is that the upcoming strike might not be as long as some people are projecting. Certain aspects have already been cleared. So, with that being said it might no be as long as a process as the previuos writers strike. I think that strike did so much damage that SAG probably does not want to go down that road but we will see.
