“It’s important that people do get back to work when it’s safe,” she said. “These are people who have bills to pay and children to feed, and they love their jobs and the work they do, making great films and TV for the world to see. I’m sure that people will be anxious to get back to work when it’s safe to do so, and we all hope that that will be sooner rather than later. But these are extraordinary circumstances and we are following the guidance set forth by Gov. Newsom.
“We just finished our features and independent film application process and would have normally issued our credit allocation letters on Monday, April 13, but we are going to be extending that so that we can give the projects more time to get up and running before the clock starts ticking again.”
