MALAKING challenge sa mga taga-produksiyon at artista ng pelikula at teleserye na 50 katao na lang ang papayagan sa set para maiwasan ang pagkalat ng Covid-19.
Kaya ‘yung mga artistang may kasamang personal assistant, make-up artist at driver ay hindi na uubra sa set dahil kanya-kanyang sikap na sila at higit sa lahat, bawal na ang big scenes.
Base sa ipinatutupad na Modified Enhance Community Quarantine sa NCR, balik-trabaho na ang mga nasa ; industry o showbiz.
Kaagad namang nagpalabas si Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) chairman Liza Diño-Seguerra ng mga guideline tungkol dito.
Aniya, “Ang mga malalaking eksena, ‘yung mga eksena that constitute mass gatherings katulad ng mga night club scenes, political rallies, mga concert, parada, festivals, mga malalaking parties.
“Siyempre, it involves people at mahihirapan tayong ma-control iyon dahil, number one, ipinagbabawal sa atin ngayon iyon.”
Mahigpit ding ipinatutupad na limitado ang physical contact at pagsusuot ng face mask sa film workers.
“Pagdating naman sa contact ng ating mga worker, very strict tayo na lahat, dapat may PPE at all times, mula pre-production, production, hanggang post-production, lahat naka-mask.
“Dapat i-limit ang physical contact. As much as possible, no-contact policy, kasi bago pa man gawin ang pelikula, mayroon na tayong casting, mayroon tayong pre-production meetings.”
