The Film's Journey

​

The year 2020 began with many high expectations, a calendar filled with plans and an experimental film in development, little did we know at the time that a global pandemic would shift everything.

​

The Film was originally going to be shot in a public park which required permits, generators, portable toilets and a full security team, all of which were booked and on stand-by for production. Following an address made by the President in March declaring a national state of disaster, our plans were put on hold indefinitely.

​

The writers were given the opportunity to adapt the screenplay to suit the Covid-19 regulations around social distancing as well as planning for the possibility that the government's level of lockdown at the time of production could change. A brave and bold decision was made to keep the integrity of the narrative and to rather up the technical level of filming by incorporating green screen work. 

​

This decision needed commitment from every single department to ensure that it could be a success and after months of tight scheduling, remote meetings and many hours spent planning, we achieved what we set out to do!
