2023-07-31 08:41:17 +0000 UTCJessie. <3 I'm so sorry things have worked out this way. But clearly it's not over for your team nor for identiteaze (spelled it in one). It's moving forward, just not in the way we thought. I'm so looking forward to seeing your creative vision come to life. As someone once told me, it will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end. Kinda corny but that's platitudes for you. Take good care of yourself this next little while as you process your feelings. The fight continues. I'm just sorry so much has to be such a goddamn struggle all the time. xo

2023-07-31 00:44:31 +0000 UTCSo sorry you guys have been put through this. I suppose this is just another example of the staff and the organisation not being on the same page, but to be so arrogant as to demand the name be spelled out seven times, to deadname you, to be so flippant with paperwork, to keep changing the goalposts, and to ignore schedules and time constraints completely... regardless of their excuses for those things, that's just pathetic. Sounds very much like the behaviour of one that thinks too highly of their importance. Fingers crossed, when this is all sorted out, you'll be able to re-hire everyone you've had to disappoint in the short term, but in the meantime, good work and love to you, Erin, Trenton and everyone else involved.

2023-07-30 23:41:45 +0000 UTCUgh that's just awful. I am so sorry. Regretfully, this does have the ring of "If we ignore them a few more days, the clock runs out, and this stops being a problem." They're also very likely overwhelmed. Sigh, awful

2023-07-30 19:18:20 +0000 UTCBureaucracy might be one of the worst concepts ever devised by mankind. I know that SAG-AFTRA is going through a lot right now, but that is no excuse for them to jerk you around like this. Stay strong, Jessie. Us fans are all behind you on this.

2023-07-30 18:35:26 +0000 UTCWow, that really sucks! We’re wondering if it had anything to do with the fact you have John Delancey in the mix, and they worried that having such a high profile actor participating might send an ambiguous signal. At any rate, by giving such a detailed explanation you gave us some education about how the process works, so that’s one good thing. But yeah, totally sucks.

2023-07-30 03:33:28 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry that this has happened JG. Especially during a time when anyone involved in the industry needs whatever work is available. I know you won't give up until this film is made and the fact that you told everyone to take the other jobs that are available shows that you care more about the people working for you than the studios do.

2023-07-30 01:40:15 +0000 UTCArgh, that is infuriating, sorry you and the production team/cast are going thorugh all that. Betrayed by the bureaucracy of an organization you otherwise support. Something something Kafkaesque.

2023-07-30 00:32:45 +0000 UTCAlso, here’s a video to cheer you up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4StpMBjMmlY (it’s a parody of French Bureaucracy as seen in Asterix, but seems quite relevant to what you’ve been going through)

2023-07-29 21:22:32 +0000 UTCfrustrating that they just didn't seem to care. you're doing the right thing by their members, and being basically punished for the effort

2023-07-29 14:53:55 +0000 UTCI don't have the words to describe how angry I am hearing this. If it was me having to go through that any of that, especially the salt on the wound that was the e-mail, I might have thrown punches. It is a testament to you and your good nature that your still trying to advocate for a message of hope and optimism through all of this. I hope you and your team gets some rest and know that we support all of you.

2023-07-29 14:41:04 +0000 UTCI´m so frustrated and sad on your behalf. The utter lack of respect and professionalism is astounding. I truly hope things work out for you.
