IATSE voted 99% YES to authorize a strike. And because union negotiations can be reduced to just that... “negotiations,” it was important to us on the show to put the focus on exactly what we are actually talking about here: Human beings' well-being on set and in life. So, on this episode of Brian Breaks Character, my guest is IATSE crew member Heather Fink. She works as a Boom Operator and Sound Utility and she joined me not as a formal representative of IATSE, but as a human being in the industry. In this intimate conversation, Heather openly shares her real-life experience as a “below the line” creative as we stare down this strike. IATSE is asking for better pay for streaming service work; higher wages for coordinators and assistants on all productions; longer rest periods between shifts and on weekends; and strengthened requirements for meal breaks during marathon shoots. So to be clear, it's not about pointing at “one bad person” it's about revolutionizing an industry that can too often make *the bottom line* more important than human experience.WHICH IS LITERALLY INSANE SINCE FILM AND TV-MAKING IS STORYTELLING … and storytelling EXISTS to connect us as humans. In this episode, I put on my novice hat so I could ask Heather ALLLL the questions you might need to know about WHY this is so important and you'll learn precisely WHY as a fellow creative you'll want to take a stand with IATSE.This episode is dedicated to all the members of IATSE. We stand with humanizing this business. We stand with IATSE.  TAKEAWAYS IATSE crew is the engine that runs everything on a Film/TV set How the @ia_stories Instagram Account ​​helped Heather to take a pause and realize that after 11 years of working on film crews that it's not normal nor is it OK the conditions that IATSE crew members have been working under.  IATSE has not had a strike since WWII, so over time members have lost things from their contract every time it's been negotiated. The YES vote does not mean there will be a strike, it means that IATSE has authorized a strike and can go back to negotiations with AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) with the hopes that will be enough.

Sara sits down with writer-director Heather Fink (who is also an actress, comedian, and sound professional for film and TV - she does it all!) to talk about growing up in New Jersey as the daughter of a Jewish American scientist father and a Dutch immigrant construction boss mother. These friends of many years (12? 13?) discuss growing up in the shadow of two cities (NYC and Philly), being a woman in a man-dominated industry, and the challenge of living a creative life with multiple gigs far away from one's family. Heather is the daughter of a stroke survivor, and she talks a bit about that as well. Thank you so much to the Patreon famiglia helping keep this show alive!

This week, comedian, writer, and director, Heather Fink joins the show! She'' talk about directing Sara Benincasa's short film "The Focus Group", writing, directing, and starring in her own feature film, 'Inside You" (available now on all digital platforms), and her transformation from stand-up comedian in NYC, to filmmaker in LA. We'll also dive into some talk about feminism, being from New Jersey, and play a game of "Who Said It...Trump or Voldemort?".

In my position as an untrained therapist, I would say that the way Heather “presents” and the way she really is don't quite match up. Kind of the way the Kerry Russell character on “The Americans”, can go from glam to hand to hand combat without breaking a sweat. Except Heather wouldn't hurt anybody. She's SUPER caring! Heather is a writer/director who's made a lot happen, including a feature film, "Inside You", that she wrote, directed and starred in. https://www.amazon.com/Inside-You-Heather-Fink/dp/B075RMN46NWhoa! We talk about her take on life which relates to some of the themes in her film, how men and women function together in society without thinking too hard and women get the short end of the stick too often. Heather's opening story about being called out in a dramatic horrible way in front of the class kind of says it all. She simply doesn't see why she is getting in trouble. We both agree – the boys would've gotten away with similar behavior! More Heather HERE: http://www.heatherfink.com/
