So, the whole Covid-19, self isolating thing? My wife and I started that over two weeks ago. We have been working from home, did some photography for agents who had property or empty houses, but aside from our yard and walking the dogs, we did little else outside the home. We even sat in the car or out in the parking lot during most of the closing, until one of us was actually needed.
What I didn't risk in that time was bringing a cast together. That alone wouldn't have been bad, but I lost two shoot dates to a Real Estate Class that kept getting rescheduled due to snow and flooding. Those who know me, and have seen GRIM, know that snow and flooding are far less a problem for me than a virus. Weather doesn't stop me from getting things done (except filming in the rain when it shouldn't be raining ). Anyway, things happen and if this class had to keep conflicting with my film life to keep other agents and students safe, so be it. It was a state required class to keep my license, so I had to finish it and couldn't miss a single entire class.
That said, I am a bit irked, because NOW the class is being offered online and it is no longer mandatory that you be there in person! I couldn't done my shoots if I had any inkling that would happen.
As it is, I am attending a class online Monday.
Fortunately, in order to try hit my goal I had been planning several "one man shows", like This Is Space Force and one about the last worker in an undersea lab. I hadn't planned on playing all of the single roles myself, but if I have to, I will. I'm probably adding "Johnny Pitchman" to the roster and of Course, Pratt was always planned to make a come back. Maybe Jack will go on a particularly shopping adventure.
One real bit of irony? I finally have an entire country full of empty locations and I'm not allowed to bring a cast and crew together in any of them.
Meanwhile, I have made all of my videos on Cocoscope free until the end of May, the rental at Little Creek Rentals is open to Covid-19 Responders and I am uploading old episodes of "Inside HFP" to Amazon Prime (all of our movies there are going to "included" as well. Amazon is taking their time with it though.)
Jason is sad.
Oh well, back to work!
See you in the streaming world, gang.
