Controversy is brewing in Hollywood surrounding whether or not independent films should get the go-ahead in the midst of the joint SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike. Sarah Silverman took to Instagram on Friday (July 28th) to question the waivers SAG-AFTRA gave to 45 “truly independent” films.
“I feel f—king pissed off, and I know I just must not be understanding something,” she said in the video. “There are like 40 movies being made right now. Movie stars are making movies because they're independent movies, and SAG is allowing it because if they do sell it to streaming, it has to be because streaming is abiding by all the things we're asking for.”
“That's just working,” the Marry Me actress added. “The strike ends when they come to the table and we make a deal in agreement. So you're just letting people make movies, and movie stars are making movies that you know the goal is to sell them to streaming.”
