It’s been a minute — and it’s time we had The Talk.
In light of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the team here at Off Colour is on semi-hiatus until January 8, 2024. Read on for more: 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 1/
Hello queers, missed us? ;)
Well, we missed you too! To make up for our absence we're giving you a lil treat for Pride month.
We sat down with some incredible NB talent to talk about voice acting, animation, & gender.
Check it out!

Wrote this in 2021: The surprising bonds that link Palestinian, Black and Indigenous liberation movements. It explores how international kinships are changing the fight against oppression and, just maybe, bending the arc of history toward justice. thestar.com/opinion/the-surp…

This deal is incredible in so many ways. But this took my breath away: "In addition to the... writer designated by the Company to make hiring decisions... (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Showrunner’)…” Showrunner is now officially defined in the MBA. AS A WRITER. #WGAStrong

✅Minimum room size.
✅Pay increases.
✅AI can't write.
✅Disclosure of streaming numbers w/ residuals to match.
✅Guaranteed 2nd step for screenwriters.
✅Script fees for staff writers.
✅Writing teams get full payment into pension (this is huge for me specifically)
Hell. Yes.
The WGA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. Today, our Negotiating Committee, WGAW Board, and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. The strike ends at 12:01 am. Check out our deal at wgacontract2023.org/deal. #WGAStrong

FINALLY!!!
🚨 WGA has reached a tentative agreement 🚨
After 145 days, the AMPTP finally submitted an acceptable offer.
The strike isn’t over yet. The still agreement needs to be drafted and ratified. But we hope this first step gives writers the protection and compensation they deserve.
ALT September 24, 2023 DEAR MEMBERS, We have reached a tentative agreement on a new 2023 MBA, which is to say an agreement in principle on all deal points, subject to drafting final contract language.

"Whenever I ask someone to put me on to a gay show, the queer characters are often white. Which is something I have seen so many times."

BREAKING: Marvel Studios’ Visual Effects (VFX) Workers UNANIMOUSLY voted in favor of unionizing with IATSE in a labor board election.
This marks the first time a unit of solely VFX Workers has unionized with IATSE since VFX was pioneered nearly a half-century ago.

Incredibly grateful to be a part of an organization that clearly values and defends the right to fair wages (and other basic rights!) in such a public way.

Actors, animators, artists, crew, and writers pour their souls into their work. They deserve a thriving wage for their labor, as every human does.

In solidarity with those on the picket lines, Off Colour will not cover struck companies until further notice.
Entertainment journalism and criticism are marketing. Our work will not enrich executives who devalue the creatives that make their profits possible. 2/
