At 12:01am PST, the current contract that governs salaries and working conditions for film and television writers expires. It appears that one of the main issues at the crux of the argument is residual income collected by writers when a project is released on DVD, cable etc. With the California economy seriously threatened by this and the mind-numbing programming that will result, we can only hope for the best. => ACAPULCO DEADLINE IS MAY 11, 2001 - REGISTER TODAY The Fifth Annual Acapulco Film Festival is revving its engine.
