Episode 282: How the Hollywood strikes brought #BCFilm to a standstill

The YVR Screen Scene Podcast

For our fall season opener, we look back at the impact of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes on the Vancouver film and television industry through in-depth conversations with IATSE 891 Business Representative Crystal Braunwarth and UBCP/ACTRA President Ellie Harvie (who addresses the infamous July 14 open letter). We also hear from background performer and indie filmmaker Michelle Muldoon about the issues at the heart of the strikes and how it's impacted her , and from photographer Rob Trendiak, who trained his lens on impacted film workers for his inventive photography project Anachron.

Please note: the interviews were conducted before the WGA and AMPTP announced the tentative agreement on the evening of September 24.
