Producers United Is Launched By 86 Top Film & TV “Career Producers” To Change Fee Structure, Get Health Benefits & Stop Gradual Ecosystem Erosion
The 86 members of Producers United is a collection of the most prolific “Career Producers” who make about 90% of Hollywood’s biggest movies.
They are usually the only ones asked to sign their names and put themselves on the hook for budget overruns and mishaps, even those resulting from audits years down the line when distributors have closed the books and don’t want to hear about it. They hope that the CEOs who solved the last two labor strikes will recognize the mutual benefit of empowering the producers they rely on for quality control on a set, and to bring in movies and TV productions safely and on budget. The Career Producers want the studios and financiers they work for to make healthcare contributions, and shift the way that fees are paid so there is more cash flow to pay staff and overhead as films wind their way to green lights.
