"gather information on the demographic makeup, careers and opinions of Canadian screenwriters. While such studies are regularly undertaken by U.S. Writers Guilds, this survey is the first of its kind in Canada. Results of the survey should provide valuable insight into current working conditions for screenwriters in Canada."
Tired of being mis-identified as a gala-going dilettante? Sure you are. There is much good that can come out of this survey. By knowing things like income averages, who's actually working, what TV & Film writers' main complaints are, and also things like how much work is going on in digital...these insights, compiled anonymously by the Research Study Organizers will provide a much-needed resource for everybody from Telefilm to Provincial Arts Agencies to the CMF to anybody who has a vested interest in Canadian culture.
It's hard sometimes to get writers to participate, I know. It's like herding cats. But whether you're somebody who's written three animation scripts or a showrunner with 25 years in the biz, your opinions & data here will help paint a TRUE picture of the state of the Canadian screenwriters' plight.
The survey is open to WGC Members only, and can be accessed by signing into the Members Section of the Writers Guild of Canada Site.
I filled it out last night. Totally painless. And I'm way busy. So you have no excuses, mate. It's Easy peasy. Go. Do it now.
