A Message from the Editor
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the second issue of Movies
Monthly! We are delighted to have
you back, and we would like to take a
moment to express our support for the
recent strikes initiated by the Writers
Guild of America (WGA).
The backbone of the film industry lies
in the talent and creativity of its writers.
They craft captivating stories that
transport us to different worlds, evoke
emotions, and spark conversations.
However, it is disheartening to
acknowledge that these talented
individuals often face challenges and
inequities in their profession.
FKent Felipe
The WGA strikes serve as
a wake-up call, highlighting
the need for fair treatment,
better working conditions, and
just compensation for these vital
contributors to the cinematic landscape.
As a magazine dedicated to celebrating
the art of filmmaking, we firmly stand
behind the writers and their fight for a
more equitable industry.
In this issue, we will bring you
insightful interviews with accomplished
screenwriters, shedding light on their
invaluable contributions and the
challenges they encounter. We aim to
raise awareness and foster a deeper
appreciation for the writing process, as
well as the significance of supporting
writers’ rights.
Movies Monthly is committed to
amplifying the voices of those who
shape our cinematic experiences. We
will continue to cover the ongoing
developments in the industry, keeping
you informed about the progress and
impact of the WGA strikes.
Thank you for your continued support,
and we hope you find this issue both
enlightening and entertaining.
rom,
Editor For Movies Monthly
