As the 1st Hollywood strike of any kind in 15 years begin, its impact will be felt beyond the Los Angeles area, as there are a number of screenwriters in the Phoenix area. One screenwriter who voted for the strike is speaking out about his decision.
Chris Lamont, who teaches film at Arizona State University, has written a number of movies in the past four years with his writing partner in Los Angeles. Despite having some projects in the pipeline, he decided to vote for the strike. He spoke with FOX 10's Linda Williams on why he did that.Phoenix is rather far away from Hollywood, but that does not mean people in the Valley are not affected by the Writers Guild of America strike.
The lack of a regular seasonal calendar in streaming has depressed pay further, according to a report issued by WGA officials. In addition, scheduled annual pay bumps under the current contract have fallen well short of increases in inflation. Chris Lamont is one of those screenwriters. He, along with his writing partner in Los Angeles, wrote a number of movies in the past four years. Lamont voted for the strike, despite having irons in the fire.
