Filming in Dutchess County has been halted amid the Hollywood strike. The strike, which began on July 1, 2023, involves the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). The SAG represents over 160,000 actors in the United States, while the WGA represents over 200,000 writers.
The two unions are negotiating new contracts with the major Hollywood studios. The main sticking points in the negotiations are wages, health care, and residuals.

It is unclear how long the strike will last. The SAG and WGA have said that they are willing to continue negotiating, but the studios have not yet made a counteroffer.
The strike is having a significant impact on the economy of Dutchess County. The county estimates that the film industry generates over $100 million in economic activity each year.
The strike is also having a negative impact on the local workforce. Many people who work in the film industry in Dutchess County have been laid off or furloughed.
