It's been a month since film and TV writers began their strike against Hollywood studios, hoping for a new contract offering higher wages, more residuals, regulations on AI, guaranteed staffing minimums, among other demands. On the picket lines, morale remains high.

"One month in, we're still going strong. Our passion is not decreased," said Teresa Huang, a writer and actor who stopped working on a Netflix show when the strike started. "We're gearing up to head into the summer to keep striking until we get a fair deal."
