How Screenwriters Can SMASH CAA

I unpack the standoff between screenwriters and agents, and outline how television showrunners could inflict a mortal blow on The Big Four talent agencies...and redraw the Hollywood landscape.

BACKGROUND TO THE DISPUTE

Screenwriters and their Hollywood agents are at war. Thousands of screenwriters have fired their Hollywood agents in a dispute over the talent agencies’ practice of charging television networks multi-million dollar packaging and producing fees - a practice which, the writers claim, creates a massive conflict of interest for the agents, and breaches their fiduciary duties to their clients.
