Regarding Maggie’s spot specifically, we were addressing the AMPTP’s walking out on the WGA negotiations, and the ever growing realization among us writers that we can distribute “on our own,” without the media conglomerates help. In the spot, we made the AMPTP a character “AMPAHTAPAH.”
The clip was directed by George Hickenlooper (Factory Girl) and also starred Zoe Kazan, Allyson Sereboff, and Diana Paschal. When it appeared on YouTube it received over 136,000 views, Here are some other stats for the first day it was online!
