Canadian film and television workers are feeling the sting of twin strikes by Hollywood writers and actors.
Vancouver-based Derek Baskerville, who rents costumes mostly to U.S. film shoots, says he laid off a part-time worker last week and has scaled back the hours of other staff as work dried up.
The Writers Guild of America walked off the job May 2 and was joined on the picket line Friday by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA. "I think a lot of people are going to lose their houses. I think a lot of people are going to leave the industry,” Martin says of a double whammy affecting her clients, who include production designers, cinematographers, line producers and others who work behind the scenes.
"I've been talking to costume designers, they're asking: What's the work around during this strike? How are they going to handle rentals, extended rentals? Should they send it back? Do we put it on hiatus out of goodwill?" “One of my colleagues, she had to take her kids out of daycare and out of summer camp because she can't afford it. It's summer. Kids want to go to camp. Not this year.”
