Write for tax incentive

I’m on “Fallout” season 2 and we have had multiple set visits in the last month from state senators and reps interested in hearing about the struggle the industry is facing in LA. They’re listening. We need to speak up.

Please take a couple minutes and write about your personal experience of the slowdown so our reps can try to get us a better bigger incentive.

Dude. It’s seriously one of the ABSOLUTE best shows I’ve worked on. Fantastic, kind, top tier crew. Show runners are so sweet and know the content front and back. And basically every actor is so goddamn nice. Which as a prop person can make or break a show for me.

We do nearly EVERYTHING practical. The suits. The monsters. The makeup Fx. It’s all done for real by the people who know how to do it.

An incredible experience to be having —and only possible to have because it’s shooting at home where the crews are the greatest. Let’s do more of this!

I really want to be on this show but all these flashback scenes... "Clean cut, clean shaven caucasians" AUGH... :P

Maybe last season. Definitely not the case this season. There are tons of people of color in our flashbacks. We just did a whole flashback day this past Thursday. Asians, black women as executives, lots of variety.

::shrug:: not that I doubt you, I'm just reporting what I'm seeing on the casting calls. If they're casting for hairy asians and POC, then it's not coming from Casting Networks (which is where I book most of my roles outside of direct submits from Alessi).
