"Our escapist fantasies are different now. President-elect Biden talks about one America—not blue states and red states. In another era, this might sound corny. But conflict has depleted us. We used to cancel subscriptions and TV shows; now it’s people. No surprise, many of the new shows that resonated last year—Emily in Paris, Ted Lasso, The Queen’s Gambit—represented a new modern fantasy, where essential goodness is celebrated and rewarded. (Think anti-antiheroes to the previous decade’s Don Draper and Walter White.) Watching these shows last year delivered temporary inoculation against toxicity. Look for more of this kind of escapist programming—from high art to treacle, feeling good will be the new Breaking Bad."

Hollywood Insiders Defend "Essential" Worker Status Amid Growing Criticism | Hollywood Reporter

On the surface may seem unfair, but when you realize the amount of precautions that working sets have to make to operate safely, it makes more sense.

"Most government officials maintain that comparing film production to other industries, like the restaurant business, is apples and oranges. “We are not a bar where everybody sits around with their masks off,” says Momita Sengupta, Netflix’s vp physical production. She and others contend that film and TV sets are highly controlled, closed-off environments thanks to the strict protocols created by studios, guilds and top epidemiologists. Sets require frequent testing, ample personal protective equipment and contact tracing when positive tests inevitably arise. “It’s not a public-facing industry, and there are low transmission rates on set,” says a California government source of the film business’ ability to stay up and running."

The show must go on...

Outlook 2021: CAA’s Rosanna Bilow on unscripted’s “fire hose” of opportunity

Inspiring words from Rosanna Bilow @CAA.

The buying market has been more aggressive, but then more specific of what they want. Perhaps that has a little something to do with the financial [pressure] that they’re experiencing internally, but the pandemic didn’t just mean, “Oh, we just need to buy a ton of content now.” It was, “We need to be bigger and better. We need to be more functional, we need to be more creative.”
