Strike vote today could see actors join writers with a walkout
B.C.'s film industry is bracing for what could be Hollywood's first industrywide shutdown in 63 years, with actors joining writers on strike.
Motion Picture Production Industry Association of British Columbia chair Gemma Martini told BIV this morning that the industry is operating at about 25 per cent of capacity because of the lack of scripts, and that the actors' strike will bring the industry to a virtual stop. She estimated that domestic scripts are used in about 15 per cent of productions in B.C., and that those productions could in theory continue if the projects use only Canadian actors.
Location Fixer owner Synnöve Godeseth told BIV that B.C.'s film industry is mostly service based, as the province does not have a large number of its own writers and actors. Location Fixer has clients such as the Vancouver Art Gallery, and is the liaison between the gallery and studios that want to use the location. The company provides this service for about 20 locations.
