Legal has always told me that if we use a first name in a spot, we have to get someone with that name to sign a release. Someone says “hey Lauren!” We could get sued by any Lauren? Does this ring true

@CHICAGO & NEW YORK who's looking for freelance writers next week?

Got laid off due to COVID and have been struggling to find a job. I wasn’t happy and my mgmt sucked so this is a good thing. Now I really hate the idea of working for a company. I know everyone works and I’m not a genius who can just start a scalable biz. But I just can’t get my head around the idea of doing something I hate for a paycheck. All these years of busy seasons burnt me out. Struggling in between doing something I enjoy for less pay and taxes for more pay.

Is anyone willing to pair up to do some mock and SD(system design) preps for FAANG TPM roles?

I’m a felony prosecutor and have never worked in the private sector (both before and since becoming an attorney). I’m considering switching to a private firm, but don’t know where to start. My private law friends have recruiters reaching out to them based on where they work. How do I get recruiters to notice me? Should I be hiring a recruiter? (Is that even a thing?)

Honest opinions, does anyone like OLA? Writing it? Designing it? Seeing it?

I work with an alcohol brand that wants agency to handle buying their alcohol in stores or online and shipping them to production in Canada. I do not want the bottles to get stuck in customs and am trying to figure out the best way to avoid issues. I’ll need to send about 75 bottles.

I’m sure someone addressed this but what is the consensus on proof of vaccination for cast and crew. I work in the commercial world and it seems to be all over the place. Client has kicked the can down to agency/production. I’m production, I say fully vaxxed. Agency producer says fully vaxxed. Overall, most crew is happy about a vax policy. I just do t see how we can accommodate The anti-vaxxers and still provide a safe shoot. What say you?

salary for SPs in Boston?

A bit of a vent- I love being a producer, and producing certainly involves a certain level of expected stress, but it’s so hard being at the end of the agency process. It feels like so much is asked of us and we are so frequently set up to fail (time, money, or communication-wise), no matter how proactive we are in trying to mitigate these things. I feel these pressures and other departments’ understanding of production are getting worse with time.

Asking for a friend; but, in the world of non union digital content shoots, what are the meal period laws for crew on pre-light and shoot days? I always follow union rules to be safe and because it’s the bare minimum producers should do for their crew, but hearing about a production team not feeding their crews ANY meals and only feeling the talent and client is really getting under my skin, sounds illegal, and I want to get to the bottom of what the rules really are. Any advice is appreciated 💖
