Everyone’s so mad at the AMPTP that producers want the organization to drop “producers” from its name
For the past six months or so, the writers and actors of Hollywood have successfully rallied most of the general public against the Bad Guys who are actively trying to eliminate “writer” and “actor” as viable career paths for all but the wealthiest people and most poorly programmed artificial intelligence apps. Those Bad Guys are better known as the Association Of Motion Picture And Television Producers—a.k.a. the AMPTP—an organization composed of the biggest and most powerful TV and movie studios (Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Sony, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and Warner Bros. Discovery). Despite the name, what the organization does not include, though, is producers. As in, people in Hollywood whose job is to produce things.
