Between the pandemic and M&E heavy hitters/wanna bes racing to capture their unfair share of the new consumer entertainment pot of gold, people at every level have been busy refreshing their resumes.
You can almost smell the fear, smell the blood.
Theaters are struggling with their reopening and talking hot/heavy to remain relevant.
Content producers/aggregators are checking their cellphone directories to see if numbers are still active.
Studios and networks wonder if they’re coming to the streaming table to eat or be eaten.
Agents simply wonder WTF.
No, the industry isn’t struggling financially.
