Dead Staff Walking

Hollywood Confessional

INT. MAJOR AGENCY - TV LIT DESK - DAY (2007)

A dedicated ASSISTANT discovers a plan detailing exactly when all support staffers will be let go to save the agency money during the 2007 Writers Strike.

Join us in the confessional booth as we hear this support staffer’s tale of seeing exactly how much their agency valued support staff… and their clients. In a parallel to some actions taking place during the WGA strike today, their agency seeks positive PR on the picket lines but turns cutthroat behind closed doors.

As the confessor and their cohorts try to figure out how to weather the storm of this major labor dispute, they reflect on how years of sacrifice can amount to nothing on their company’s bottom line. Ultimately, they realize the most important thing in Hollywood isn’t always saving your job… it’s saving your self.
