Episode 282: How the Hollywood strikes brought #BCFilm to a standstill
For our fall season opener, we look back at the impact of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes on the Vancouver film and television industry through in-depth conversations with IATSE 891 Business Representative Crystal Braunwarth and UBCP/ACTRA President Ellie Harvie (who addresses the infamous July 14 open letter from Canadian A-listers). We also hear from background performer and indie filmmaker Michelle Muldoon about the issues at the heart of the strikes and how it's impacted her , and from photographer Rob Trendiak, who trained his lens on impacted film workers for his inventive photography project Anachron. Please note: the interviews were conducted before the WGA and AMPTP announced the tentative agreement on the evening of September 24.
