A Successful Director Lied And Actually Said This To A Famous Actor
My name is Sierra Pia, I am an actress and love meeting fellow artists! I am starting a community called The Artist's Sanctuary, a virtual wellness center designed to provide comprehensive support and resources for both aspiring and professional artists (currently focusing on actors). My goal is to create a place where artists can build community and skill sets that will help them throughout their personal and professional journey. Since 95% of our job is based on our mindset.

The AMPTP suspending negotiations with our union yesterday. I think the sticking point is the $800,000,000 fee the streaming services will have to pay out each year. I'm not sure if the issues of AI is also the reason. What we need is for the negotiations to be livestreamed, so the membership and the all of the studio execs can watch, observe. That may be the transparency that's necessary for honest and open dialogue. On the upside, I won a prize on Publishers Clearing House for a second time today; last time was in 2018. Now I just need to win that $15,000,000.00 prize on October 30th,, so if the studios and streaming services force the AI issue, I can slink away into retirement.

We all have things we believe... One of my beliefs centers around the necessity to change the power dynamic between ourselves and the rest of the film industry because even though actors are above the line, they’re still the lowest element on the totem pole when it comes down to it.
Jonathan Jordan, a Screenwriter, Book Coach, Ghostwriter, and Stage 32 Thought Leader, is hosting a 24-Hour Ask Me Anything ("AMA") in the Authoring Lounge today, focused on "The Publishing Process & Industry". This is a great opportunity to learn about how books get published and how you can get your book out there. Here's a link so you can ask Jonathan your questions.
We're in this business for positive professional outcomes. Sometimes, things outside our control, force us to deal with disappointment even though satisfaction was forecast. A film I had the pleasure of working -- it was shot on 35mm film, Panavision camera rather than digital -- did horribly at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The audience walked out on it, and critics slammed the picture. No one stayed for the Q&A after the screening. I'm afraid to mention the title. Anyhow, I believe the studio will place this film in a vault and it will likely never again see the day of light. One of the leading ladies is about to release a film that, in my opinion, will finally win her an Oscar. Her second film at TIFF was warmly received. So, there is incentive to protect her career as well as the careers of the director/star and co-stars. It is better to hide the film from public and write it off as a tax loss than to allow it to completely damage the reputation of its cast and crew. I'm disappointed because, as fate would have it, working on this film allowed me to put to rest a recurring nighttime dream. Meaning, I finally got to do something I had been dreaming about for years. Sadly, reality ends the same way my dream ends. This experience taught me how to better manage my expectations.
