Workshop and consultations with Shelly Silver

Filmmaking, especially on a small budget, has always been an uncertain activity. Anything from, will my crew, who I’m not paying or not paying enough, show up to will I be kicked out of the location I need, etc.

And times have always been, for some of us, uncertain.

Certainly filmmaking is far more uncertain at the moment - because of physical distancing, governmental constraints, budgetary constraints, travel constraints...

And also as the times are so uncertain, what any of us will find in front of our lens, when walking outside our front door may be quite uncertain. Or even before that front door has been opened.
