Matt Donnelly wrote our latest cover story and goes deep inside Producers United, a union fighting for the survival of producers in Hollywood amid rapid industry changes. The rise of streaming, mergers and acquisitions have rocked the traditional Hollywood ecosystem over the past 15 years. Consequently, Producers United members are finding it harder to make a living in the new world order. Their compensation is increasingly being slashed as movies and TV shows must be made on tighter budgets, and that’s if they’re lucky enough to get a project greenlit. As studios and streamers tighten belts, they’re making less content. Along with the fewer films, the ones that do get made have an ever-expanding list of people who claim to have produced them. Many major stars demand to be credited as producers (but perform no actual duties in that role), as do outside investors, who will put up the money for a movie in exchange for a shot at awards glory as a producer on a film whose set they may never have visited. The studios, in kind, see producers as menial labor when they’re the ones doing the heavy lifting, according to nearly three dozen producers interviewed for this piece.
