Hollywood is on strike. The writers are on strike, the actors are on strike and it’s the first time in 60 years both groups are doing so simultaneously. They want better pay, regulations on the use of AI in TV and film and a variety of other ticket items. In the meantime, many productions have come to a halt, including here in Massachusetts — where more than 30 major productions were filmed just last year.
Nerissa Williams Scott is a faculty member at Emerson College and CEO and lead creative producer at the production company That Child Got Talent Entertainment. She joins The Common to discuss the impacts of the Hollywood strikes on our local film industry.
