Welcome to another edition of the Fred & Dan Blog! Our mission with Fred&Dan Productions and this blog has always been to make people think in ways they’ve never done before - to spark creativity and facilitate conversation in unconventional ways. A place where you can open up your email and have a bit of creativity to take with you into your day! 

First things first, the SAG-AFTRA strike is over! For the first time since May, there are no active strikes in Hollywood! Just in time for the whole industry to do its yearly disappearing act. It’s that time of year where every email or correspondence is met with, “Let’s follow up after the holidays!”

There will be more information about the contract between SAG and AMPTP after we’ve sent this so keep your eyes on the news for details about what agreement they ended up reaching. We’re so excited for our fellow actors and we can’t wait to see what Hollywood looks like with these new, fairer contracts in place. We also can’t wait to watch Stranger Things Season 5 in 10 years…

As for us here at Fred&Dan, we will also be wintering in the coming months. It will be mostly quiet here, but if you listen really closely you’ll hear the tapping of our keyboards as we spend this time working on our three scripts in the pipeline. And we’ll also probably be popping into Instagram, so make sure you follow us there.

We feel so lucky to have found a community that believes in taking what you see and turning it on its head to answer the bigger questions of the human experience. From Denise & Angel, the first Zine Subversive, going through the writers strike together, an interview series, producing Big Oops, and finally, releasing Subliminal, this has been a year for the books at Fred&Dan. We can’t thank you enough for making Fred&Dan what it is.

Jk, you can’t get rid of us that easily.
