@oneonetwothree Just because a low budget project isn’t union based doesn’t make them scabs. Jesus. Nobody seems to know how the film business works.

BREAKING: Scab Newspaper Loves Scabs
Variety@Variety
Indie producers can still make movies like “Obsession” cheaply in the U.S. by shooting nonunion. The breakout horror hit filmed in L.A. for just $750,000, but as domestic production slows, IATSE has been pushing harder to “flip” nonunion projects — driving up costs. “The films I grew up making, for $500,000 or $1 million, the unions are really interested in having those be signatory projects,” producer David Kaplan says.

@oneonetwothree Everyone got paid the rate they asked for
English
@BurgerMeistar I bet they were, you don't last long in the business if you aren't. What did you pay them?
English
@oneonetwothree I recently shot my first non union film in about twenty years and the crew was exceptional

This is studios retaliating against writers for the strike. Because there’s thousands of great scripts being submitted to them. They have the next Backrooms in their inbox somewhere. But they won’t read. They will do this shit instead. Which isn’t serving the industry well.

@Codename_LEON Who's doing that, exactly? Who are they punishing?
English
@oneonetwothree I’m not blaming the crew. I’m saying accountability goes both ways. If you believe you’re worth $500/day, don’t knowingly accept less and then blame the production later. Producers work within budgets; crew members work within their value. Don’t make a choice and then punish ppl

If we're being honest, there is no benefit going union under $2 million for an indie producer . AT ALL

@Codename_LEON I hear you. It is & should be project by project. But you're talking about people (like me) like we're in the way. I'm saying, point your knives at studios who buy movies cheap, festivals who program unfairly, or streamers who stripmine consumer habits. It's not the crew's fault.
English
@oneonetwothree And people who complain about union rates offer what they have. It is up to the people on crew to decide what that value is and if it's worth their time. A producer only offers what they can afford.
English
@Codename_LEON You have this completely reversed, and are contradicting yourself. Making movies below $2 million is completely viable, union or otherwise. More than half my career has been non-union gigs. People who complain about union rates want the expertise without paying for it, simple as.
English
@oneonetwothree And you sound elitist basically saying hey if you don't have $2 million to make a film, you can't make a film. Which fundamentally would mean that most of the well-known directors you and I know wouldn't exist. Thank God, you have no saying what any of us do.
English
@MalloryMcMorrow Lotta vibes in this video. Got any policy positions you want to stand on, or...?
English
Right now, we need to see some fight.
So we went to talk to the experts at Jabs Gym in Detroit.
English
@oneonetwothree @AKlay19 Sure buddy lol
Would be much easier to say you were just wrong hahahah
English
Wild what can happen if you have the guts to speak up. You think there's a universe where this kind of ass-saving PR release & newfound generosity happens if the Art Director kept her mouth shut, like so many people said was the right thing to do? Hmmm...

Capstone, the company that financed ‘OBSESSION’, is estimated to make $45M - $50M from the film after its success. They will share this with the creative team, including director Curry Barker. (Source: thewrap.com/creative-conte…)

@oneonetwothree @AKlay19 And again, you thought the studio was givin away money because she spoke out.
Which is asinine, but you cant acknowledge how crazy that sound lol
English
Matt Hyland@oneonetwothree
@dreamerrworld @AKlay19 Oh yeah? Where'd I say she was getting more money? While you're at it, read her post again, and point out where she's even asking for money. I'm flattered you raced back here when you saw his quote making the rounds, but read more carefully next time.

@oneonetwothree @AKlay19 About her seeing more money....or the studio giving them money.
People who invested or had it in their contracts will receieve bonuses, not anyone else.
Her speaking out had nothing to so with it, in fact, she probably destroyed her career.

@intothecrevasse Can't imagine a more intriguing one sentence review...But also plz elaborate! Haha

Good movie about the unalloyed, unaccounted evils of Joe Swanberg
The Film Stage 📽@TheFilmStage
Sophia Takal’s #ActOne is a psychosexual thriller that feels like a lucid nightmare, directed with the spirit of 1980s films about suburban danger. Read @FinkJohnJ's Tribeca review: thefilmstage.com/tribeca-review…

@Brocklesnitch She's co-starring with Ethan Hawke in season 2 of the lowdown, in case that comes anywhere close to scratching the same itch 😅 Tulsa's a little rough around the edges tho so not exactly normal rom com territory.
English
@writeadambloom You seem pretty sure about all that. I have points from around 2/3 of the indies I've worked on as an Art Director or Production Designer. What's that make me?
I'm happy to speculate, because we're all just having a conversation here. And also I'm not full of shit.
English
@oneonetwothree She's below the line. She ain't part of "the creative team". It's common for above the line talent to have revenue share. So labelling this "newfound generosity" is pure speculation on your part.
English
@horrormaster01 So after 35 years, why the attitude? Does her speaking up make your job harder? You don't need tough skin, or hazing, or "a reality check" in this business to thrive. You just need friends :)
English
Shows how many people don't know how the film business works.
Probably why the people seeing this as a victory, won't make it in or last long. Got to have tough skin.
The Art Director isn't part of the creative team, she's BTL.
