    Is A Writers Guild Strike In The Offing?

    LOS ANGELES --

    The last major Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike lasted 100 days in 2007-’08, adversely impacting TV and film production. Fast forward to today and recent developments have fueled speculation about the possibility of another walkout as the WGA’s East and West Coast boards have given a greenlight to having members vote on a strike authorization. 

    If members provide that authorization, the WGA would be able to call a strike if a deal cannot be reached on a new three-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

    Strike authorization voting will be conducted online and at special membership meetings in mid-April, with the current contract deadline of May 1 looming.

    Negotiations between the WGA and AMPTP recently broke off after two weeks of talks. Yesterday the AMPTP formally invited the WGA back to the bargaining table. And now contract talks are set to resume on April 10. Among the key issues are residuals related to streaming platforms, reportedly declining wages in TV over the past three years, and funding of the Guild’s healthcare and pension plans

    Director Dylan Bradshaw Joins PARAGON For Commercials and Branded Content

    Monday, November 17, 2025

    Production studio PARAGON has added director Dylan Bradshaw to its roster for advertising and branded content collaborations. Bradshaw is a next-gen director blending cinematic storytelling with viral internet culture. He broke out after teaming with co-director Nate Norell to win the 2025 Doritos Crash The Super Bowl contest with “Abduction.” The self-funded spot made its mark, reaching a mega Super Bowl audience and gaining industry recognition. “Dylan represents the new wave of filmmaking we’re most excited about, where cinema and internet culture blur together with precision and next-gen creativity,” commented PARAGON founder/executive producer Jack Linderman. “He’s fearless, curious, and constantly pushing what storytelling can be. Partnering with directors like Dylan keeps us sharp and inspired, and we’re looking forward to what we’ll create together.” Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Bradshaw grew up with a passion for storytelling inspired by filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Encouraged to pursue storytelling with unrestricted imagination, Bradshaw directed projects from a young age, finding joy in bringing people together in the creative process. Witnessing the emergence of YouTube creators--“overly caffeinated people like me who love creating films with their friends”--he was inspired to follow suit in his own way. Moving to Los Angeles, Bradshaw became a director at King Studio, home of TikTok’s most-viewed video. He went on to direct global campaigns for brands like CeraVe, the NFL, and PepsiCo, with work featuring Tom Brady, MrBeast, and Charli D’Amelio. Bradshaw then harnessed this experience as an independent director and was thrust into the creative spotlight with the Doritos Crash The Super Bowl... Read More
