Summer hiatus is in full swing, so it's a ghost town here in Hollywood. Some updates: SAG-AFTRA's contracts are set to ends June 30th, and a vote to strike was passed. However, it looks like contract negotiators may extend the negotiations for a few additional days beyond the June 30th expiration date; otherwise all existing union film projects to come to a screeching halt. Today, June 23, members of DGA vote on their new contract; fingers crossed. I woke this morning, had breakfast, and then realized I have absolutely nothing to do today or the next few weeks. Long waits can be tough. Hopefully things will be back to normal in time for the 2023-24 season beginning August.

At least it's not as broken up into seasons as it used to be!

Thanks for the update, Matthew Gross. I didn't know contract negotiators could extend negotiations beyond the expiration date.

Thanks for the update Matthew. I’ve been reading all the comments in the Deadline article about the DGA deal - pretty wild to see all the different perspectives.
