A Refocus Film Festival Event
Location: fix! at the Chauncey
Time: 10:30am - 11:30am
Who: David Kajganich, Vinnie Wilhelm, Kristen Roupenian
Admission: Open to the public. Free drip coffee for passholders.
Start your morning with a coffee at fix! and conversation with David Kajganich, Vinnie Wilhelm, Kristen Roupenian and other guests who will discuss the labor dispute between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Why did the moderate terms posed by the WGA and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) on issues regarding streaming, episodic television, and AI receive such fierce pushback? What is fair when it comes to revenue sharing? What do strikes in the entertainment industry mean for film exhibition and writers more broadly? And what can we expect to see as a result of these historic actions?
