you will watch an 89 min. documentary, Showrunners (2014) on Kanopy via the library, and a one-hour webinar, Hollywood on Strike! Examining the 2023 WGA and SAG/AFTRA Strikes (2023, Film Quarterly, YouTube). I suggest watching them in this order. Take notes and write 2 paragraphs on these questions:
1. How does the documentary/industry frame showrunners as auteurs?
2. Assess the diversity of Hollywood’s executive producers, as depicted in the documentary, and as informed by the webinar.
3. What conclusions have you drawn about such things as creative control, the talent pipeline, and equity in the industry, among other things, after watching the documentary and the webinar?
