Alexis Garcia, Fifth Season EVP of film development and production, on premiering Eileen at Sundance: 'It’s such a feminist, auteur, wickedly fun movie.'

, however, Endeavor Content was stripped of its sales department and sold a majority stake to CJ ENM .

How has the transition gone, since Endeavor had to divest 80% of the company and you renamed as Fifth Season? : In terms of new ownership and [the WME divestment], it’s still early. We’re establishing independence and identity. The sale and the name change is kind of falling on deaf ears, there are still people who don’t get it. It’s been a relief to get to this part, and the work has to speak for itself. If you looked at what we were doing before, WME was not the dominate partner.

I think the “battle” part is a misconception, but we crossed that line a long time ago. It was very hard when we first started investing and producing ourselves, but that was five years ago. It was harder, especially during the WGA issue, to get things done with WME reps compared to others. They were having to fight the perception that they were giving us sweetheart deals. We probably overpaid for projects with WME because of that, which we were happy to do.

TikTok may push potentially harmful content to teens within minutes, study finds | CNN BusinessTikTok may surface potentially harmful content related to suicide and eating disorders to teenagers within minutes of them creating an account, a new study suggests, likely adding to growing scrutiny of the app's impact on its youngest users. I remember when we used to tell girls with eating disorders that they are indeed fat and they need to take lots of medication and get surgery to remove the fat. Oh, nevermind. gendercrap Well I seem to remember some recent president saying that the USA should ban TikTok ? OF COURSE it does, the Chinese Communist Party is dedicated to destroying the citizens of the United States. Now, are parents tough enough to take phones from their kids? It's not time for soft compassion, it is time for strength and discipline, which is TRUE LOVE for children.
