Hollywood Producers Fight for Fair Pay
17 Jun
Summary
- Producers United hires top entertainment and labor attorneys.
- The group advocates for fair compensation and recognition.
- They aim to reform industry compensation and credit structures.
Producers United, an advocacy group representing 300 career producers in film and television, has appointed entertainment litigator Bonnie Eskenazi and labor attorney Allyson L. Belovin to its leadership. This strategic addition of legal expertise underscores the organization's commitment to addressing systemic issues within Hollywood.
Founded three years ago, Producers United champions the role of career producers in content identification, development, and successful project delivery. The group has observed a marginalization in the post-streaming era, with shrinking budgets and talent often seeking producer credits without performing producing duties.
Eskenazi and Belovin will guide Producers United on critical legal and labor matters. Their focus includes reforming compensation structures, improving healthcare contributions, curbing excessive credit proliferation, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of producing careers.
Both attorneys bring extensive experience. Eskenazi is a noted entertainment litigator, while Belovin specializes in labor and employment law, representing unions and working individuals across various industries. Their combined expertise is expected to significantly enhance Producers United's advocacy efforts for meaningful reforms.
