With no end in sight for the writers’ strike, local scripted television production has ground to a halt, a blow to the region’s local economy. wga writersstrike
nears the end of its second month, scripted TV production in Los Angeles has virtually ground to a halt, underscoring the economic fallout from the ongoing labor standoff.
The disappearance of TV shoots is notable because scripted TV is ordinarily one of the main drivers of on-location film shoots in L.A. Typically, there would be dozens of scripted television projects shooting locally this time of year, FilmLA said.The focus on shutting down individual productions such as ‘The Chi’ reflects the more aggressive tactics being used by Writers Guild members compared to the previous strike in 2007-2008.
“We are hearing from some folks that they are really struggling and not sure how long they can hold out,” Paul Audley, FilmLA president, said of the effect on local businesses connected to the film and TV industry.
