Abstract
This chapter highlights key stakeholders as the U.S. mainstream film and media industry was hit by the COVID pandemic. One of the U.S. public health official mottos to the COVID crisis was the refrain, “We’re in this Together.” Hollywood celebrities adopted this phrase as they pitched a vision of a global community: each of us has skin in the game, each of us is a stakeholder in the future of the country and the global success of holding COVID at bay. And yet, this togetherness belied key realities about the nature of work within Hollywood. The structure of the current film and television industries that make up Hollywood production are detailed, as the author pushes back against the idea of a monolithic film community.
