Great story about client, @sheri_sussman and her new film, #ShudderTheDoors. READ MORE HERE from @guidetofilmtvpost by @dawnhiggi! . Taking Oscar Sun. to talk w/ writer, director, producer @sheri_sussman for @guidetofilmtvpost blog’s Pro Tip Of The Week. She shares her experience on directing a film during a pandemic & how covid protocols changed their production & post. Her current project as writer/director @shutterthedoors is a short film starring @ian.buchanan (Twin Peaks) & @billywirth (The Lost Boys) & DP’d by @justinjanowitz . They shot the project in one day @themintla They were cautious on limiting crew & days. CDC & SAG covid compliant (producer @adamtrex was certified covid officer as req by SAG), everyone tested, wore masks & PPE, social distanced, kept catering & crafty separated. There were temp checks at check-in, ppe for all & meals (from @canters_deli ) were bagged individually. They kept the environment comfortable, relaxed & safe. Sheri’s editor, Scott Harvey, & she worked remotely. He’d share his screen, bounce QT files back & forth & zoom. Sheri’s sound designer, Andy Kantos, also did sound remotely, then mixed at covid safe @unbridledsound . Sheri is working w/ colorist @mark.todd.osborne for her color timing. Usually she’d be in the room w/ her team, but due to constraints this was the safest way to work. The reason why she feels this was successful was that these are “long time colleagues who’ve done my other films for me for over 10 years, so we work very well together & it’s not a problem at all.”. She will have her DCP created @lightironpost for her DCP (its covid protocols listed extensively on website). The film’s publicist is @m4pr @m4pr_mel . W/ some solid planning & putting together a trusted team, Sheri’s project ran smoothly & new protocols did not appear to affect her budget or deadlines.
