tweet from Sam Reich: A thread about the strike and Dropout production: 👇✊ALT
three tweets from Sam Reich: 1. I stand in complete and utter solidarity with our striking performers. I myself am SAG-AFTRA, as are others on our executive team, having come from the world of working actors. 2. I am nothing but sympathetic to their cause and outraged by the mafia-like behavior of the major streamers and AMPTP. It is harder than ever to make a living in this industry, and that goes even for the lucky few of us who get to work on meaningful projects. 3. In the meanwhile... 🤑 Uber-rich CEOs and shareholders are cashing in like never before 💸 Major streamers are gambling millions on dubious projects and business models 🍾 Hollywood is hiding profits and playing the victim while drinking champagne aboard their superyachts.ALT
three tweets from Sam Reich: 1. Dropout production is right now on hold. Because we aren't associated with the AMPTP, it's possible we may be able to reach an interim agreement with SAG that allows us to continue to produce content during the strike. 2. But we'll only do that, obviously, if we get the blessing of the union and the buy-in of our performers. If not, we have enough content in the can to last us a little past the end of the year. 3. I pride myself in that Dropout has always paid above SAG minimums. As the years go on and the company is healthier, we will strive to do even better, and then even better still. Without the talent of our performers, we are zilch. Zero. Nothing.ALT
a screenshot from Sam reich's thread from a dropout actor (unknown who it is): The Netflix show in question is shorter than a traditional half hour. BUT @collegehumor & @dropoutty paid me MORE than that for one of their scripted series. Dropout was a brand new online platform at the time and still managed to pay their actors more than NETFLIX for scripted short form content.ALT
three tweets from Sam Reich: 1. Public companies don't do this for the very simple reason that they feel more indebted to their executives and shareholders than they do their workforce. It's why corporations are so often exploitative. 2. Our industry, because our jobs are so desirable, is especially vulnerable to exploitation. Hollywood takes advantage of that by making us feel generally commoditized, cheap, and replaceable... ...which is ironic given just how personal our work so often is. 3. That's why unions - and the power of collective bargaining - is so important: because public companies often won't pay their workforce any more than they're forced to.ALT
tweet by Sam Reich: "As for me, I intend to honor my union's position that I not promote SAG productions as a performer -- even if they are produced by me. That means that I won't personally be promoting any of our shows for the time being." screenshot from dropout discord of Sam responding to the question: "given the strike... what picket line chant will you be rockin?" Sam's response: "I'm a talent/CEO! me says me has got to go!". end screenshot. two more tweets from Sam Reich: 1. This year, instead of running a FYC campaign for Game Changer, we donated $10k to the Entertainment Community Fund in solidarity with the WGA. Today, in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA, I'm personally matching that donation with another $10,000. 2. If you have any disposable income, I encourage you to donate as well: entertainmentcommunity.orgALT
single tweet from Sam Reich: If you have any disposable income, I encourage you to donate as well: entertainmentcommunity.org And as soon as I test negative for COVID, I'll see you on the picket line. ✊ALT

Sam Reich continually making Dropout the only streaming service ever

all workers’ strikes are good. yes even if they’re inconvenient. even if they’re making your life harder. even if you don’t get to watch your favourite tv show. workers fighting for their rights is ALWAYS a good thing

I genuinely hope American media sucks for a while! I hope the big companies keep trying to churn out shit and that it’s all embarrassing garbage! I want it to be extremely apparent to everyone how important the writers and actors are to create good media and that they deserve to be compensated appropriately!!!

by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.
