Universal’s Donna Langley Calls on Los Angeles County to Resume Production (EXCLUSIVE)
Representing the wider industry on a conference call with the county’s Economic Resilience Task Force on Tuesday, Langley highlighted a white paper report delivered to California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday and asked that production resume immediately. TV and film sets have been shuttered since mid-March as the pandemic took hold of the country.
Lower-risk jobs Langley referred to included pre- and post-production, set construction, video editing and music scoring — all areas that function in relative isolation and are not as populated as filmed scenes where departments convene.Entertainment Industry Leaders Discuss 'Generation Defining' Impact of Coronavirus at NAB Summit
The task force formed by Kathryn Barger also featured attorney Casey Wasserman representing live events and sports sectors, and Universal Studios Hollywood president Karen Irwin representing theme parks. They echoed sentiments about preparedness in line with local and national health guidelines, and discussed inviting the public back to open spaces at reduced capacities.
