“We don’t expect you to respond to these notes during a WGA strike,” it reads, “so we look forward to discussing these with you after the strike concludes and we can move forward with development of the project.” Still, multiple execs at the company acknowledge that they’re likely to get pushback from certain writers, which is among the reasons one exec there questions whether it’s worth sending them in the first place. The guild rules state in no uncertain terms: “You may not attend pitch meetings or communicate with a company representative to receive notes on literary material even if you intend to wait until the strike ends to make any requested changes.” The writers guild didn’t respond to a request to elaborate on the practice.Īt at least one company, executives have been provided a template that has specific language to include should they choose to send notes to writers and reps. What’s universal, thanks to clear strike rules on the subject, is that nobody is doing notes calls with writers the way they had only 36 hours earlier. Some, for instance, are prepared to send notes back via email, if they haven’t already others are saving their notes for whenever the strike concludes. How those scripts are being handled, however, seems to vary from company to company, and in certain cases, executive to executive.
