Subject: Quote Of The Day
"This is a very foolish strike. The amount of economic upside over the
length of the contract coming up is not worth giving up the present
benefit of producing even the 20-plus shows that are on, say, ABC.
It's shortsighted; it's not there yet. People like myself are trying
to figure it out and, basically, create an industry. The only people
that are playing in this are the established media companies that feel
they have to, cause they don't want to be left behind; the young, up-
and-coming entrepreneurs who are doing it because this is their way
in; and then, people who can afford to dabble in it because it's
"interesting." It's a completely misguided strike. And I'm pushing way
up ahead. I did "Prom Queen," I'm doing one called "The All-for-
Nots" [a documentary-styled comedy that follows indie- rock bands on
tour]. I'm shooting a third one that we're selling the rights in Japan
and dubbing it for France. But you know, at the end of the day, the
amount of economic profit that we could all make together could maybe
get us through a day at Starbucks. It's just not worth it."
