It's been a very weird few years to be an up-and-comer in the professional world, especially in Hollywood, which has been through mini booms and busts at alarming speed. If you're a 20-something, I want to know what that experience has been like for you

Our Salary Confessions series continues with a Gen Z exec who is extremely candid about everything, from how he and his peers share pay data to his age group’s calcifying resentment and disdain toward senior execs. More from @elainelow.bsky.social: theankler.com/p/salary-con...

I really didn’t think I’d say this but four seasons of Billions prepared me for the current moment. The Hochul/Adams fight. The MTA. And the megalomaniac billies who think they can be Caesar. It’s freaking me out.

Jeff is a friend and a great guy. We spoke the day everything started and he was just minutes into crisis mode, already on the ground helping our friends, The Nickels. We all worked together on Legacies and I would literally and physically trust Jeff with my life. If you need his intel, use it!

The prolific TV director Jeffrey Hunt lost his home to the 2018 Woolsey fire. Now he’s consulted over 90 people whose homes were destroyed in this year's fires. Hunt shares his wisdom with @elainelow.bsky.social on what to do and what not to do in this time of crisis theankler.com/p/los-angele...

Had a feeling Meghan Markle’s series would be postponed. Optics of a feel-good lifestyle show set in her Montecito home going out this week, when fires are still raging, aren’t great. It’s rare Netflix delays a high-profile launch (+ by almost 2 months), though, so imagine this took some convincing.

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances. They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

The NYT article about Blake Lively’s lawsuit is incredible. Her director/costar’s PR team texting “Holy shit, I can’t believe how well our evil plan to destroy this woman’s reputation is working! Thank god no one will ever read these text messages!” back and forth to each other over and over

Few companies expanded this year, with studio layoffs and agents just trying to find work for their existing rosters. So @elainelow.bsky.social w sees what contraction and salivating over SpinCos look like outside the exec suite and where opportunities lie in 2025. theankler.com/p/hollywood-...

HBO and Max are focused on their in-house brands like Game of Thrones spinoffs, but as @elainelow.bsky.social explains in her Fall Market Guide, it’s still possible to land a project there — even if it’s through the back door theankler.com/p/hbo-and-ma...

On the topic of paying people for their work… good time to humbly note that shoe-leather journalism—the kind that requires effort and resourcefulness and nuance—isn’t cheap. If you value the reporting we practice @theankler.bsky.social, please subscribe this holiday season. Promise it’s worth it!
