This film was made during the height of the pandemic. All restaurants, stores, and non-essential places of business were shut down in the USA. No film production was allowed either so it was a very grim time and people were afraid. I got fed up waiting for production to resume and decided to write, cast, shoot, and edit my own little film about what we were all feeling and going through. I hoped to share a laugh with all my friends in the industry at a time when we all felt helpless.
