This production was completed with a skeleton crew during the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic in London. I was in charge of hiring talent, booking and coordinating travel, ensuring covid protocol was being followed on set, driving trucks, returning items, and managing the budget.

A collective of creatives utilizing their creative spirit and shared talents to create a piece to inspire hope at the onslaught of the pandemic. I was a part of the creative development and editing process. We couldn't have an official production because a stay-at-home order was placed in Los Angeles county, so we made it happen by exchanging gear and narrative objectives. After this, it was up to the trusted artist to create their art.
