LOS ANGELES — Jeremy Zimmer is on a mission.
The chief executive of Hollywood's third largest talent agency, UTA, wants to see a new deal with streaming services.
Studios are in crisis mode, slashing costs, yanking shows and laying off hundreds of workers in a desperate effort to boost profits and justify massive investments in streaming. Meanwhile, writers, directors and actors are increasingly agitated about dramatic changes in how they are being compensated and the lack of transparency from streaming platforms.
