00:00 Adam Driver criticizes Netflix and Amazon amid ongoing Hollywood strike.

00:05 Driver, who stars in Ferrari, made his comments during a press conference at the Venice Film

00:10 Festival on August 30, CNN reports.

00:14 Why is it that a smaller distribution company like Neon and STX International, distributors

00:18 for Ferrari, can meet the dream demands of what SAG is asking for?

00:22 This is pre-negotiations, the dream version of SAG's wish list, but a big company like

00:27 Netflix and Amazon can't, Adam Driver says.

00:31 Driver is one of the few actors attending the film festival under interim agreement

00:34 waivers with SAG-AFTRA for independent projects, according to CNN.

00:40 Otherwise, guild members are prohibited from promoting projects that are affiliated with

00:44 the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, per strike guidelines.

00:49 Every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has agreed to these terms, the

00:53 interim agreement, it just makes it more obvious that these people are willing to support the

00:57 people that they collaborate with, and the others are not, the actor continues.

01:02 "I'm very happy to be here to support this movie.

01:06 I'm very proud to be here to be a visual representation of a movie that's not part of the AMPTP and

01:11 to promote the SAG leadership directive, which is an effective tactic, which is the interim

01:15 agreement," Adam Driver says.

01:19 SAG-AFTRA went on strike in July.

01:21 The Writers Guild of America went on strike in May.

01:25 Both groups are seeking to negotiate better pay and protection from AI's encroachment

01:29 into their industry.
