MODERATORS
Note that what they're really interested in here is a fundamental change in how extras work. They want to turn it from an industry that hires early/struggling actors and turns it into the sort of thing that a college student can get one-time emergency money from. Akin to selling blood or eggs.
Also akin to Uber drivers, door dash delivery people, Airbnb hosts (back in the beginning)
