Producers Demand AMPTP Drop Second "P" in Name
Over 2,300 film and TV producers have signed a letter urging the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) to remove the word "producers" from its name, arguing that it inaccurately implies that all producers are part of the organization. The letter, initiated by the Producers Union, highlights the confusion and negative impact caused by lumping producers into the AMPTP's positions during negotiations. Independent producers have long voiced their concerns about their exclusion from the AMPTP, and the letter aims to raise awareness about their distinct role and lack of basic rights and benefits. The AMPTP has not yet responded to the letter.
