How about we all jump into indies now? Content creators create a film & TV-making system alongside the studio & streaming networks? So there is actual competition. 🧵 deadline.com/2023/07/actors…
Then we just do what we always do—create great content & they can buy it, or we take it out ourselves & WE share in those sales. They’ve created an empire of billionaires & believe that we are no longer of value. While they hang out in the billionaire boy summer camps laughing like fat cats, we organize a new world for workers.
One sure way to strengthen our hand right now is to become very supportive & friendly to all independent projects immediately. Push every SAG-AFTRA member to join the ones that get SAG-AFTRA (WGA) WAIVERS immediately. The studios have no competition—this will change that.
Share profits. If the project does well, everyone does well. This will also help our fellow filmmakers “The Crew,” who we love, to keep working. This is also part of #Solidarity. We have to take care of each other. @frandrescher
@MarkRuffalo I have written an independent film and have a production model that is profit share for everyone. There’s a role in it for you if you’re interested! You can see my previous work at TheHackerMovie.com
@MarkRuffalo @frandrescher I’ll get this to Fran. This has been a dream
@MarkRuffalo @frandrescher ACTORS UNION & the STRIKE is BS it is a RED-HERRING Most actors today are either PRODUCERS or EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS or ASSOCIATE PRODUCERS on the MOVIEs/TV shows which means they are DOUBLE DIPPING They are NOT full time. They are contracted. Therefore, get better LAWYERS.
@MarkRuffalo @frandrescher I’m down and ready to rock ‘n’ roll. 🎬🎥💘
@MarkRuffalo @frandrescher I'm with Mark!
@MarkRuffalo @frandrescher Mister Ruffalo - I recall on the DVD-commentary-track of Darren Aronofsky’s debut “Pi”, where he talks about the way the pay went on that one, collectively with the emerging results. Everybody got paid if/as the movie made money. Definitely worth listening to/revisiting. Cheers!
@MarkRuffalo @frandrescher That is exactly what we are doing with our new film I helped produce & act in @rBnBmovie from our company @Mannateefilms. We have distribution & it will be available on platforms Oct 3rd. Totally independent. Sharing all profits. #rbnbmovie #indiefilm
