For over a decade, business was booming in Hollywood , with studios battling to catch up to new companies like Netflix and Hulu .

But the good times ground to a halt in May 2023 , when Hollywood ’s writers went on strike.

Projects have been cancelled and production was cut across the city as jobs have dried up, with layoffs at many studios.

Mr Fortin ’s drone company was operating nearly every day before the strikes.

Now he has flown the drones just 22 days in the year since the strikes ended.

He used to work as a background actor to get by, but the pay barely covers the gas money to get to LA from Las Vegas .
