Students expect livable wages once they head into the industry but the rise of streaming services, which often produce shorter seasons and have different compensation structures, already have workers struggling. “Even if the strike makes it more difficult for me to do an internship and find work out of college and start my career, I think that’s very miniscule compared to the benefits of a successful strike and getting those terms met,” Alvarez-Nissen said.
It’s an illustration of how much worse the problem is than we thought it was and why it is important to be striking.” “I think we’ve all known about the stereotype of the studio that takes advantage of people or the producers that just want to get as much money as possible. “That does scare me as somebody going into the industry,” said Alvarez-Nissen, who’s graduating in 2025. When he looked at the fine print, he discovered the union was fighting for what was, in his mind, the bare minimum - standards he thought were already in place. As the strike went on, the third-year film student at the University of Southern California became curious about the specific terms that were being negotiated. When the Writers Guild of America strike started May 2, midway through Teddy Alvarez-Nissen’s internship for a production company in Burbank, fewer scripts started coming in and his work as a reader slowed considerably. As workers demand fair compensation and regulation over the use of artificial intelligence, college students hoping to break into the entertainment industry are caught up in the historic moment. It was the second time she ever did a Prince song, which I'm super proud of and it's such a beautiful version.With the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild on strike, Hollywood has shut down. that was really what got her to do I Would Die 4 U. But I think coming from the world of reggae. "She said she'd vowed she'd never cover another Prince song. They just thought it was a Sinead song, because it was such a beautiful approach. "She told him to do one."īenbini continues: "For the longest time, I think a lot of people didn't even realise Nothing Compares 2 U was a Prince song.
He said, 'if you're representing my song, don't use filthy language'." He laughs. how Prince summoned her to his house in LA at the time and he wasn't very happy because she was doing some press on an American chat show, and she swore. "But, you know, she told me one or two stories. He says there was never any discussion about O'Connor singing the Prince cover that made her famous. 'Beyond compare': Tributes paid to O'Connor "A lot of new artists should take a little pinch of Sinead - and that is, you know, to always be yourself." O'Connor had something that many others could learn from, he says. No butter.' So just brown bread and cheddar cheese? That's it? 'Yeah.' No problem!" In fact, O'Connor only asked for one thing. She didn't have any airs or graces, she was very much down to earth, which is quite rare in rock'n'roll." there was an air of shyness about her but also an air of, she knew what she wanted, knew who she was.
She was nothing like she'd been perceived to be over the years. "I'd heard stories about her - and I've worked with some famous artists in the studio, so I'm thinking, what's this going to be like? But she was super humble and really funny. But she was such a strong woman - she came from performing on the streets of Dublin busking, so she had tremendously thick skin. Especially by some of the press, I think some were mean to her, just simply because they didn't understand her. "She was obviously a troubled soul over the years and I think at times very much misunderstood. The singer was "absolutely amazing", says Benbini. When she eventually heard his demo, she agreed to record the version together at a studio in Dublin. O'Connor agreed and the pair swapped numbers and stayed in touch.
