Canadian screenwriters have experienced a massive earnings decrease over the last half decade, says the union representing its members, and many are concerned a new federal law to regulate streaming giants doesn't go far enough.
Larose also said there will be a second round of consultations with the CRTC this fall, which will include "engagement on definitions of Canadian and Indigenous content" and reviewing possible changes.
Rob Michaels, a writer and director working on an upcoming CBC comedy, would like to see streaming giants contribute to more Canadian content. But Michaels says Canadians are also capable of working on American productions that shoot and produce their work in Canada."I definitely think Canada has the talent to contribute to some of those shows in the writing room."
"There are more opportunities in America — that's just the reality of it," says Michaels, adding he is moving there in the coming week to explore some of those opportunities himself.Meanwhile, Levine says the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike hasn't greatly affected the WGC, though the union has supported its sister guild.
