I’m a film industry worker. Grip and Rigger to be exact. I’ve had the opportunity work on some cool projections over the last 4 years. After years toiling away in the often toxic service industry, it was nice to go to do work I truly enjoyed. It felt like I had purpose, a thing I think is essential for the human soul function properly.
Now my industry is shut down.
I know I can not directly effect any of this. I know that none of this situation is my fault, but I also know I don’t need to participate in the “buy Bob another big boat” fund.
I’m canceling Disney, and whatever else we have (besides YouTube.)
I’m an American worker and consumer and if my ability to function in the former is hindered, then my ability to participate in the latter has to adjust accordingly.
