Strike.TV Makes It’s Debut
July 11th, 2008 Posted in General InfoThat old (slightly tired) saying, “Make lemons out of lemonade” is exactly what some striking writers did during the 3 month writer’s strike. They wanted to continue writing in spite of this giant screech in Hollywood, so Strike.TV was created.

LAist had this to say:
“During the Writers Strike, a group of creatives got together to make Strike.TV and began to develop 40 projects that are expected to debut starting today (as of this writing on the morning of July 4th, only the above teaser has been launched).
One of their promises is “to demonstrate that it was possible for Hollywood professionals to coexist and flourish with the studio system that has supported them for so long while bringing their talents to an emerging medium and doing so in a way that helps everyone,” explains their press release. “Strike.TV chose to be on the forefront as the industry goes through the necessary changes that inevitably arise with any new technology. Every industry and economy is impacted by change. And change is sometimes painful or difficult.”
