“Squid Game” increased the value of Netflix by an estimated $900 million.
It also made South Korean writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk famous — but not rich.
In his contract, he had forfeited all intellectual property rights and received no residuals.

I will be on the line tomorrow to support our
@sagaftra
brothers & sisters, & for the record, Jeri's been a constant presence on the line since day 1 of the WRITERS strike.
Let's flood those lines this week. Your neg-com will need that. With you all the away.
#SAGAFTRAStrong
Our
@sagaftra
NegCom is going back to the table on Monday. So let's SHOW UP on the strike lines this week to show the AMPTP that we are more solid than ever in our resolve to reach a fair deal!

Jess kept WGA picketers fed, and now SAG-AFTRA picketers are gonna need some tasty pizza energy as they show the AMPTP their resolve. I just donated. If you can, please do!

Big pitch tomorrow and a HUGE pitch Wednesday. I've been very fortunate this year, & my upbringing tells me not to ask or expect for more, but I'll take all the good vibes/prayers/energy you want to send my way. 🙏

there are ample number of soulless PR shops that'll gladly take their millions in a lost cause effort. (Remember the bang-up job
@SteveSchmidtSES
did? Thought not)
Free advice: you won't win this. Save your money & focus on negotiating w/us in good faith.
You're welcome./fin

Infuriating, but fucking typical of the DGA.
You're motherfucking welcome. Again.

I'd like to clarify to any directors: we don't hate you guys. We think your leadership are cowards that squandered a historic moment & struck a bad deal w/more holes than Swiss cheese, on the backs of OUR fight, again. It doesn't help us or SAG.
We love you. Your union sucks.

They did this in 2007. Start talks, offer little to nothing, then break them off, claiming our leadership is being intransigent. They do it to break our spirit.
I don't know if that's what's happening now, but I would rather be prepared than surprised by their bullshit. 2.

ADDENDUM: and it should be THE BEST DEAL. We didn't spend this time or come this far to just get something just okay. Something I'm sure our valiant leadership is aware of. We're behind you, as solidly as we were on Day 1.

This strike won't end because they have a target date. This strike ends when we get our target deal. NOT before. PERIOD./fin

Today the WGA Rapid Response Team assisted the mighty
@Teamsters
at an Amazon delivery hub, holding back trucks for HOURS. (Check photos—they HOLD a line!)
@LindsayD399
& the Teamsters have been by our side since Day 1. An HONOR to stand with them.

ADDENDUM: Question the motive of the leak! This could be AMPTP saber-rattling:"we're prepared to go months more & will put serious $ towards countering your narrative."
Which would ALSO be fucking dumb (color me surprised. )
Our response: keep doing what we're doing.

@sagaftra
They didn’t think we’d shut down shows, they didn’t count on our solidarity, they didn’t count on the support from Teamsters & IATSE, they didn’t factor in this moment for labor in the county, the support of the public. And they most definitely didn’t count on SAG walking. 4.
