Belovin will represent the group of 300 name producers \u2013 whose membership includes Oscar winner Jonathan Wang (\u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d), Barbara Broccoli, Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner and Cathy Schulman.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince launching three years ago, Producers United has set numerous campaigns to center the importance of the career producer, individuals responsible for identifying and developing content and guaranteeing safe, timely and on-budget production and delivery. As <em>Variety<\/em> explored at length in a cover story last year, this group of filmmakers have been marginalized in a post-streaming world of shrinking budgets. They\u2019ve also watched their fees and credits raided by talent seeking producer titles (while doing no actual producing work).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile Producers United is not currently taking action to unionize, the organization hasn\u2019t ruled it out. The addition of Eskenazi and Belovin to their team, however, is a clear indicator that the group is serious about policy changes at the major studios and finding a path to fair compensation.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEskenazi and Belovin will help guide Producers United on legal and labor matters as the organization pursues meaningful change around compensation structures, healthcare contributions, credit proliferation, and the long-term sustainability of producing careers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=2376\">Emmy Predictions: Short Form Categories \u2014 \u2018SubwayTakes,\u2019 Tom Segura and the After-Show Crowd Vie for Recognition<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tEskenazi is a partner at\u00a0Greenberg Glusker LLP, and widely regarded as one of the entertainment industry\u2019s premier litigators.
