Puerto Rico’s film industry still is recovering from the effects of Hurricane Maria, and now it’s been hit by a strike. Crew members working on a low-budget film called Selfie have walked off the job to protest what Iatse says is the company’s failure to pay crew members “over $100,000.”
“The Iatse is currently on strike against Selfie, Selfie Inc., in Puerto Rico,” the union said in a communique to its members. “All Iatse members have left the show to support the organizing effort. The company is currently and actively trying to re-crew Asap.
