Ryan Gajewski:
Yeah, I think that, you know, you talk to people in the industry and there is confusion as far as why that wouldn't be considered. Writing unscripted has been seen sort of as this cheaper, quicker alternative, and I think that's helped it thrive.
I've talked to people who think that kind of some unscripted programming has kind of leaned in on maybe less experienced producers and people behind the scenes who are able to get work and develop Hollywood experience but are willing to work these longer hours, maybe not getting residuals, not having health benefits.
And so once studios have found a way to create this content in a cheaper way, are you going to be able to change that? And certainly certain shows have managed walkouts. So Survivor, I talked to an editor who has worked on two shows, Survivor and History Swamp People, who she was part of walkouts for both shows, and they were able to make those shows union.
So certainly that's a possibility, but it becomes tricky. You sort of need the show to be seen as indispensable to your platform, and certainly not all shows have that luxury. And then if you haven't worked in a while, it becomes a little bit scary for work security to then be willing to be part of a walkout because people take your job. So it gets tricky.
