“Chernobyl” screenwriter Mazin and August, writer of “Aladdin,” used their “Scriptnotes” podcast to highlight the topic, sharing stories of writers’ assistants, production assistants, agency assistants, studio assistants and temps.

Why don't you write a story about the 120,000 IATSE workers that got laid off? They (we) are also Hollywood workers

Badly written article. This isn’t Ivory Tower stuff, people outside the business understand that entry level staff (assistants) get paid shit, but to anyone outside the industry reading this, it sounds like more garbage from the bubble.

Maybe they could get money from the Hollywood millionaires they assist?! 🤷🏽‍♂️

We’re all Fucked!

wth

Not just assistants.... all filmmakers have rents and mortgages.

Jesus Christ, assistants are neither the most abused nor underpaid people in the industry. I suggest if they don't like the job to find another line of work. No one is forcing them to do this.

Some creatures only care about bragging they have hired help, aka servants while they cash in by selling other things. It’s the same thing as prostitution or hustling but you can call it acting I guess...20M for just “acting”? 🤔

You know who else it hits? Musicians. They already have it bad with streaming and pay to play. Trivial you say? What do you listen to when you drive to StarFucks?

Maybe the dumbest tweet of the day. And that's really saying something.

Lol wtf...

That sucks. Thank Trump over it.
