away from the first apartment I
ever had in New York) in this loft
- one of those classic 80s lofts
with art on the wall. It was right
out of films like Fatal Attraction or
Wall Street. We’re up on the 5th
floor and looking down at these
bay windows and there’s nobody
on the streets. Nobody. I mean
to see New York like that on a
beautiful Sunday afternoon was
completely strange. So they did
their weekend and were going to
shoot the next weekend and then
the world shut down. They’re sitting
there with half of their movie
made. This is a movie where the
director and lead actress had
just poured their heart and their
minds into and now it’s sitting for
months. If the schedule had just
been moved up a week they could
be sitting there working on editing
the movie, but just for two days
work they’re going to be waiting
months. It would have killed us. If
this had happened to our production,
I don’t know if it could have
survived because it was already
spread out over 5 months.
