IF YOU WORK IN FILM AND TV, GET READY FOR
LAYOFFS
The bad news is arriving almost daily. A multiyear boom in film and TV production, driven by media companies racing to sign up subscribers for their new streaming services, has come to a painful halt, giving way to firings, introspection and handwringing.
