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.

Are future films in jeporady because of looming strike?

That is a question really no one knows and is asked quite often. If there is a strike and it does last as long as the writers strike does, that will be a problem. But let's hope everything gets resolved by next month so the ongoing traffic of movies continues here in our very cool state. strike,

Studio might be down..but not out.

Ok...so we got the bad news this week that the studios in Plymouth lost it's funding. Ok that is bad but I have a feeling that it might turn around quicker than one is to think, but we will have to wait and see. Once the news got out... some people were acting as all of hope is lost...are you serious?!? have you not seen what has happened to the state in regards to the film business in the past 4 years?!!? We are not doing all that bad, the studios weren't here when the huge and current flow of films continue to overflow our NE area/market. If anyone out there remembers the distant past we would be lucky if we had a film here for over a week...for the YEAR! At that time the constant project that was going on was in the late 80's which was "Spencer For Hire". Now the studios I believe will happen, because I strongly believe that they have great focus on the future of this project and MA is very Hollywood friendly as of late. There is not only one investor ou...
