Thanks, Steven.

Thanks, Steven. While it's a relief the strike is - apparently - over, we will all come back to a business that is a mess. Failing streaming business model. Flailing legacy studios. AI threat regardless of whatever "guardrails" the Guild may have managed to negotiate. And a theatrical situation which is precarious at best.

I am surprisingly optimistic about the future of the film and TV business, but it's going to be a rough 3-5 years for the whole streaming fiasco to be exposed for what it is: a fraud. All the companies who followed Netflix over the cliff like lemmings (Disney, Warners, Universal, Paramount, not Apple and Amazon who are richer than sin) are wounded and will only survive after selling off key assets to pay off huge debts. But in the breakdown of that system, that's where my hope lies: new companies, smaller more agile production entities who will seek out original material.

We shall see. Tonight, however, it's time to lift a glass and breathe a sigh of relief. And give massive thanks to the WGA Negotiating Committee and a shared pat on the back for all our fellow WGA members.
