This is the ninth of the Writers Guild Of America member-conceived Internet videos for Project "Speechless" featuring A-list Screen Actors Guild talent. They are being hosted exclusively by DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com over Thanksgiving Weekend. For the first time in the TV and movie industry, high-profile SAG actors are together taking their talents directly and exclusively to the Internet, the very medium which is at the center of the current WGA labor strike against the Alliance Of Motion Picture & Television Producers. The project, conceived by director/writer George Hickenlooper and writer Alan Sereboff, will be releasing three videos here in the morning, afternoon and evening throughout this weekend. See them all!
(Mac users, the problems with Safari have been fixed.)
[In the interest of fairness and objectivity, I would be pleased to also debut a similar campaign conceived by members of AMPTP. But, as a journalist with a journalism outlet, I couldn't pass up any opportunity to have an exclusive.]

Thank goodness the negotiations are about to resume. Nikki deserves some good material to report on besides the WGA’s online masturbation
This is not working. Except for the Holly Hunter one with the outsourcing it’s the same stunningly obvious joke again and again. It’s not good advertising for us as writers and it’s not cutting through the way the brilliant homemade videos of less illustrious provenance on youtube have cut through and actually made a big difference. Ms. Finke, a little journalistic editing is in order.
These are all soooo pretentious. You could almost imagine the level of self importance on the set when these were shot. They should stick with clips like the Irv Brecher interview which blow these away!
While I am basically sympathetic to the writers, the shine has been off off these videos for a while now. As a poster already wrote, they are pretentious. No charm.
A little variety in these videos would do wonders. Or maybe the writers should just scrap them entirely. they just aren’t connecting, and are strangely alienating in some ways.
Poor form. Stale content. Obnoxious. Calling it like it is.
I know I’m looking a gift horse in the mouth and am grateful for the efforts of all involved, but I think it’s worth mentioning that these further a common misconception: that screenwriting = dialogue. I expect that from folks at my high school reunion, but…
