The crew will be comprised of:
- A small 10-15 person crew will film one scene outdoors.
- There is no lighting department or equipment.
- Only personal cars will be present.
- There will be no large trucks.

The film industry in Georgia created $9.5 billion in revenue last year. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down most production in mid spring. Although many smaller projects are picking up, state officials as well as entertainment industry analysts fear the state will see a mere fraction of that financial impact in 2020.
As COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the country, they say it’s making restarting production more difficult.
