In \u003ci\u003eBoom to Bust\u003c\/i\u003e, media industry experts Miranda Banks and Kate Fortmueller combine economic and cultural analysis and interviews with industry workers to capture the lived experience of Hollywood in crisis. Tracking major disruptions of the preceding decade--including the transformation of streaming services into studios, the overproduction of series during Peak TV, as well as #MeToo and COVID--the authors explain how the conflicting interests of studio executives, creative workers, and workers' unions compelled a renegotiation of the terms of work. Grounding readers in the history of Hollywood labor negotiations, the authors provide a road map to make sense of Hollywood's present--and what comes next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miranda Banks,Kate Fortmueller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520412880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiranda Banks\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Film, Television, and Media Studies at Loyola Marymount University, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Writers: A History of American Screenwriters and Their Guild\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eProduction Studies\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Fortmueller\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Film and Media History at Georgia State University and author of \u003ci\u003eBelow the Stars: How the Labor of Working Actors and Extras Shapes Media Production\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHollywood Shutdown: Production, Distribution, and Exhibition in the Time of COVID\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Miranda Banks \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47858781126813,"sku":"9780520412880","price":49.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_9aa46756-2f55-4f60-86cb-57b28b04248f.jpg?v=1776860017","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/boom-to-bust-how-streaming-broke-hollywood-workers-9780520412880","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
