Producers' Happy Hour

4 major commercial film production organizations suggest a commercial production shutdown in SoCal!

Show Notes

We are not out of our slumber yet, but we had to jump in today and talk about the latest news from SAG-Aftra and other organizations who are urging Advertisers to halt commercial production in Southern California.

We have reached out to SAG, JPC, PGA, and AICP and we haven’t heard from anyone except the PGA and they declined to comment.
