Striking writers will launch a new online video company. Aaron Mendelsohn, writer of the Disney film Air Bud and an active WGA member said he has a group of “A-List” film and TV writers on the team. The team will look for $30 million to start the company named Virtual Artist. Virtual Artists will then offer professional writers deals to develop and produce films, TV shows and shorts for a minimal fee but a larger ownership stake. It works as a community thing.
