The wind is changing in Hollywood and TV-land. Let me give you an overview on the WGA strike so far, before telling you why this is happening (and what I think it means).
Hollywood’s writers have been in talks with producers for a while now in order to come to a new arrangement regarding their fees when it [...]

No, this post is not about the writer’s strike. Though I am all for it, and I think the time is ripe: Hollywood’s writers will get a bigger slice of the cake. But that is another discussion…
I found an article on Forbes Online Magazine about Hollywood marketing films on the Internet. Though the majority of marketing-money is still [...]
