Hollywood Faces Scheduling Crunch and Solidarity Limits After Labor Strike
As Hollywood prepares to resume production after the recent strikes, anxieties arise regarding cast availabilities, crew availability, and scheduling conflicts. The strikes have disrupted production schedules, leading to debates about priority and conflicts between projects. Concerns also arise about crew shortages and the competition between interrupted shoots and new productions. The timing of reaching an agreement between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP is crucial, as a delay could push production start dates back several months. Despite the challenges, the industry's desire to make up for lost time could provide opportunities for those who have been out of work.
