Hollywood Upended as Unions Tell Writers to Fire Agents
It’s probably because I know very little about how Hollywood works, and I’m definitely coloured by how much of HR departments we seem to be able to automate and digitise these years. But why do writers need agents? Why does anyone really need an agent in 2019?I mean, I understand the value of lobbying and networking, I use it quite a bit in my own life, but is it really so hard for writers to connect to employers, that they need to pay someone to do it?
