  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • The Aesthetic Sensibility of Indie TV
    The Aesthetic Sensibility of Indie TV Graig Uhlin, Oklahoma State University The 2008 financial crisis helped to usher in the end of the Sundance-Miramax era of American independent filmmaking by collapsing its funding model. Investment capital dried up, financing through advanced sales to foreign markets remained available only to select filmmakers, and a number of studio specialty divisions closed their doors. Television and streaming services stepped into this gap to provide indie film personnel more stable sources of distribution and exhibition. If we adhere to a definition of “indie” based on economics, then this transition has been a relatively smooth one: television productions have found ways to successfully translate the practices of indie film to successful shows. Take, for an example, the TBS series Search Party. Its creators ​ ​ Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers previously directed the 2014 indie film Fort ​ Tilden, a caustic take on the vapid elements of Brooklyn hipster culture, then were ​ recruited to television by writer-producer Michael Showalter. Search Party is the first ​ ​ self-financed project from Jax Media, founded in 2011, and newly purchased by Imagine Entertainment. Jax is known for its auteur comedies – among them, Broad City and ​ ​ Difficult People – and its success partly stems from utilizing indie film’s small-scale ​ budgeting strategies. Jax guarantees creative autonomy to marketable talent by keeping production costs low (typically $750,000 per episode). It limits shooting days and writing staffs, and incentivizes talent by funneling unspent budget back into the show. This streamlined approach is directly modeled on indie film (the Search Party ​ producers routinely raise this comparison), demonstrating how indie film personnel have adapted to a shifting media landscape, in the absence of viable paths to stable work in filmmaking.
