IATSE Has a Deal. Will It Spark a Rebound in TV and Film Production?
27.06.2024 - 02:05 / variety.com
Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer On Tuesday night, IATSE posted the news on Facebook that it had reached a tentative deal on a new overarching contract with Hollywood’s major studios and streamers. In commenting on the welcome news that the threat of another Hollywood strike has receded, members seemed less focused on the specific terms of the pact and more on whether the deal will help jumpstart TV and film production. “Cool, so these mega coporate studio conglomerates will make stuff and hire everyone again, right?… right?” wrote Shawn Montgomery.
Frank Markovic: “I sure hope this turns into work.” “Hoping upon hope this means work will be back again,” wrote Kazz Clawthorne. The tenor of the social media chatter reflects the hard fact that the industry has yet to recover from the production shutdown spurred by last year’s writers and actors strikes. Many craft, crew and technical workers who have been out of work for a year or more have reasoned that the threat of an IATSE work stoppage has kept a damper on the volume of TV and film production.
With the shutdown threat off the table, assuming the contract is ratified, the studios can move forward with a clearer idea of the costs of the new contract. “What the town is suffering from is uncertainty,” said A.J. Catoline, a board member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild.
“Hopefully this will make Hollywood want to get rolling again.” FilmLA, which tracks production volume in the Los Angeles area, has seen a modest rebound since the strikes. But since the end of March, that has plateaued at about 85% of the level from last year, said Philip Sokoloski, a spokesman for the agency. “It feels to us there is evidence of folks waiting to put projects into production until they

‘I Am: Celine Dion’ Director Irene Taylor on Whether We Will See the Legend Sing Again, and Filming That Harrowing Climax: ‘She Said, I Don’t Want You to Cut That Scene Out’
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “I Am: Celine Dion,” newly released for viewing on Prime Video, is so focused on what the singer has been through in more than a decade and a half of struggling with Stiff Person Disease that it’s hard to believe that director Irene Taylor didn’t even know Dion was ill when she signed on to the project. All she Taylor really knew, when she agreed to direct the film about a year of discussions, was that Dion seemed like a star who really, really had something to get off her chest… with little anticipation of just what kind of floodgates would open.

‘I went to a town near Greater Manchester that has caves, a famous drink and opera - I didn’t want to leave’
There aren’t many places in the UK where you can experience opera inside a cave, see a hotel where Mary Queen of Scots reputedly stayed and drink the freshest mineral water available (although you might want to add an ice cube or two), yet you can do all of this in Buxton. You’d be forgiven if your mind first springs to the bottled water when you think of the town, but there’s so much more to this beautiful town on the edge of the Peak District.
