CORONA VIRUS AND THE FILM INDUSTRY

-

It is devastating that our industry has virtually gone into lock-down in the wake of this virus that has damaged the global economy to an extent which we will probably never again see in our lifetime.

One consolation is that our government has taken measures which will hopefully contain the spread of the virus and restore our country to normality.

Not only have the international bookings been cancelled, the local work has also ground to a standstill.

In these very difficult times, our prayers are with our clients and crew and their families, please keep safe and healthy!  
All the best from the ladies at CallaCrew
