Wow, thanks for the quick response!  I sure learn a lot hanging out around
here.

<<These inequities and a dozen others need to be addressed, including the
vanity
director's credit.>>

Vanity director?  Probably somebodys brother in law or something, right?  Can
you explain the problem aside from artistic vexation?

And what does the WGA contract have to do with the actors?  Would they stage a
sympathy strike?  I can see where the issue of residuals would certainly affect
them.

Thanks again,

Jan

Vanity = "A Film By," in cases where the director just directed, he didn't
write the script.

The contracts expire close in time to one another.
