i’m out of it for a little while…

I stayed offline (mostly) over the weekend. So much so that I just found out this morning that a possible deal has been drawn up for the WGA, the strike may end Wednesday, and the contract may be approved within two weeks. All of the usual suspects have posts up and information about it. Being at work I don’t have time right now to break it all down for you here. In short though, it appears to be well received and, while not ideal, may be livable (and reportedly even covers online streaming of library titles (i.e. older shows and movies)).

I am of course not a WGA member and likely will never be as my recently crystalized intentions for my filmmaking lead me in a different direction (that’s a post for another day). As a filmmaker though, particularly one who writes most of his own scripts, I strongly support the guild, but I do hope this ends soon as to support them I have steered clear of all online video and really want to test out the iTunes rental service.

Oh, and I also just found out about Roy Scheider’s death too.
