Netflix & Amazon Film Crew EXPOSE Conditions On Set
Oct 7, 2021

Production workers at Netflix, Amazon and other major studios are forced to skip meals & bathroom breaks, working 12+ hr days at minimum wage. The workers, represented by IATSE, have hit a breaking point. This week they voted to authorize the biggest U.S. private sector strike in over 10 years.

Stay on target. #IATSESolidarity

Another from my wife and the daughter of Director Richard Wallace:

"A Texas Steer", 1927, silent film, starring Will Rogers, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Lilyan Tashman - directed by my father, Richard Wallace.

I’m writing this just a few hours away from Sarah Jones’ birthday, September 22nd. This, or course, invokes many memories of Sarah. Of the rich life she led. But allow me to jump to some scary memories.
On several occasions she called us in the middle of the night, let’s say at 2:00 AM. Driving home from a long shot she would call us and ask to just converse with her so that she would not fall asleep as she drove. As a side note, we imbedded into our children to call us, no matter the time, when they were in need. So, we were always grateful that Sarah would wake us in order to help her get home.
Shortly before Sarah met with her tragic death, she told me that she had just watched Haskell Wexler’s film “Who Needs Sleep”. She was concerned with the absurd and unsafe hours that were demanded of film crews. A fear that her mother and I understood in our prayers that she would make it home, once again, safely.
Shortly after Sarah’s death I had the opportunity to meet Haskell Wexler and to discuss his 12 on / 12 off philosophy. He clearly was concerned and shared that concern with me.
Now please understand that I am not of the film industry, and I am not familiar with the details of the important negotiations that are currently occurring. But I do understand and can personally relate to the vital concerns of working absurd hours, day after day, to the point of being downright dangerous.
The ‘Sarah Jones Film Foundation’ and it's ‘Safety For Sarah’ efforts were formed to make the industry that Sarah so loved a safe and freeing environment to help create wonderful films. But, at the end of the day, a piece of entertainment is not worth life!
So in short, these absurd long hours need to be stopped, before we loose yet more lives. We don’t need more parents celebrating their child’s birthday… without the child!
Happy Birthday Angel Sarah! We so miss you.
Your Poppa.
Richard Jones

New Set Safety Awareness Video

I'm actually surprised its only fifty!

The word is that EMT's revived him and he is recovering in the Hospital after a fifty foot fall from the Perms!

Sinbad The Sailor (1947), starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., directed by my wife Louisa's father, Richard Wallace.

I'm proud of my years as a graphic designer for Star Trek and other productions. In that work, I am proud to be represented by IATSE Local 800, the Art Directors Guild. I work for (mostly) good people whose legitimate business interests are sometimes at odds with mine. That’s why I need my union in my corner to ensure that my equally-legitimate interests aren't trampled by a powerful company. Happy Labor Day!
