IATSE 891 Presents: Apple Box Talks

"What I am proudest of is that we were able to help these workers do what any workers can inherently do – come together and build worker power. The wins belong to the workers."
In the last part of our Special Edition Education Series, we are joined on the Apple Box by the 891 Organizing team: Sano, Conor, and Brooke. Their organizing expertise has paved the way for 891 to sign historic term agreements in Kelowna and Vancouver Island, and continues to help more and more motion picture workers across the province gain access to the benefits that the Union offers.

"Some people say AI is not really artificial, it's actually alien. Alien intelligence. It's not something that we know. It's not like a tool that we've seen before. It has a little bit of an agency...it has a different component to it that I think is creating the fear. And I don't think fear is a bad thing."
With credits to her name such as The Last of Us, Deadpool 2, and Star Trek Beyond, we are joined on the Apple Box by industry leader Gladys Tong. Gladys entered the motion picture industry through the phone book — and now works within the intersection of human-computer interaction in the world of film. With a discussion spanning Star Trek, video playback, and the future of AI, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Pull up an Apple Box and let's talk!
