How to (Safely) Shoot Your Indie Film During a Pandemic
Online20 January 2021
Have you been chomping at the bit to get cameras rolling on your next film project, but feel bogged down by isolation and public health guidelines?
CineVic presents How to (Safely) Shoot Your Indie Film During a Pandemic -- an informative panel of local Victoria talent who have tackled the challenge of film production during Covid-19 restrictions over the past several months. Five experienced filmmakers will divulge the trials and tribulations of managing a distanced cast and crew without sacrificing the quality of your cinematic storytelling. They'll also give some hot tips on how to follow protocols and resources published by WorksafeBC, ActSafe, DOC, CreativeBC, and others (hint: it's more than masks, sanitizer, and six feet of space!)
