***<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is no denying that COVID-19 has interfered with the schedule for the Interpreter Foundation\u2019s Witnesses<\/em> film project. \u00a0We had intended, for instance, to have a new Witnesses<\/em> movie trailer playing in selected theaters by about this time for the dramatic film component of the effort. \u00a0But movie theaters are only now gingerly tip-toeing their way toward re-opening, and we don\u2019t yet know how that will go:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia to allow movie theaters to reopen this month. Here\u2019s why it matters:\u00a0<\/span>California will reopen with some new guidelines in place, though\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the meanwhile, work has continued apace on such essential matters as editing the theatrical film and preparing its musical score, planning out the documentary film and the other cinematic items that will be created to support the larger movies, and so forth.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We also had some relatively minor additional filming to do, though. \u00a0A handful of days\u2019 worth. \u00a0And that has not only been difficult (because of coronavirus-related lockdowns and social-distancing guidelines) but, until very recently, impossible. \u00a0The venues where we wanted to film were flatly closed. \u00a0Some still are, but some are very carefully opening up.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re resuming our filming work while, at the same time, observing local regulations and suggestions and complying with the specific requirements of the places where we\u2019ll be working. \u00a0(That\u2019s why, as I said the other day<\/a>, the group that will be filming out at Genesee Country Village<\/a> in New York State later this month consist of twenty persons or less. \u00a0The rules at Genesee Country Village require it, and we\u2019re happy to follow those rules.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interpreter is an almost entirely volunteer organization, but the workers on its\u00a0Witnesses<\/em> project are professionals. \u00a0They make movies for a living. \u00a0So too \u2014 just to clear up a misunderstanding left by my previous announcement \u2014 we have budgeted money for the food that will be furnished on the set at Genesee Country Village (which is, as its title suggests, out in the country) and for the production assistant who will be responsible for providing that food. \u00a0We\u2019re happy to save money where we can, of course. \u00a0The higher the percentage of the production costs that will actually show up on the screen, the better. \u00a0But this isn\u2019t an amateur project.<\/p>\n
