StrangerThings, ODAAT producers on shutting down: 'It’s bittersweet'
Starting late last week, news emerged — sometimes in bursts — of productions shutting down across the globe.
“I was having phone calls with Netflix while directing takes and blocking scenes,” recalls Levy. “We shared the news with our cast and crew that we would be pausing production out of an abundance of caution. There were no sick crew members, no one was exhibiting symptoms, but it seemed like the right thing to do.”
Concerns of the implications the two-week shutdown might have on the crew in particular were aired almost immediately, as during the announcement, Levy says he was interrupted by a veteran crew member who asked if they were going to be paid during the hiatus. The timing arguably could not have been worse, and Levy describes the experience of dismantling the massive set at such short notice as “intense.”
According to Royce, there is a possibility that this policy could be instituted to a certain extent in the long term, even once COVID-19 has stopped wreaking havoc on life in the United States. Goldschein returned from a series of meetings at Banijay, which owns Bunim-Murray, in London three weeks ago, and immediately assembled what he calls a “COVID-19 internal task force” comprised of his head IT, head of production, head of post-production, head of facilities, head of HR and legal and finance, to deal with the crisis.
