Screenwriters support each other
by Natalia Holvova


American TV shows productions are closed for almost a month now. Writers are striking for better payments for their work. And without writers there are no shows. Fans are disappointed but they can understand the situation. Who decide what kind of job is paid more and which one is less valuable? Why should art be underrated? The Writers guilt of America is in strike since November 5th and now they've got worldwide support. Important screenwriters from Europe and Australia walked out on the street and in front of important filming buildings and demonstrated just to support American writers. Even though the situation of the European and Australian writers is different and they don't need to strike for themselves right now, this gesture of solidarity is meritorious. The different groups of the Writers guilt around the world think that even writing is important enough to be paid properly. There is a lot of position participating in movie creating process and in the mind of population maybe actors, directors and producers seem more important. But without the story, actual dialogs and the plot, there is no space for any other people. If there is no story, no characters, there is no need for actors. If there is no story and no actors there is no need for directors and if there is none of these than there is no need for money and producers. This kind of strike can take long weeks maybe months, we as TV shows and movies fans can just optimistic wait for the beneficial decision for all who contribute on the strike.
