What a month. Covid-19, a coronavirus, has locked down all but key workers around much of the planet. Daily news declares more and more dead, and it will be some time before a possible improvement. Dark days.
I had an opportunity to see a rough draft of the film shoot from last month, before it got crazy. Will had made a rough cut and we watched it in the screening room at work.
Following the lockdown, I concentrated on reworking graduate projects whose shoots are cancelled, and in my spare time recorded and mixed some tracks for an album that I hope to release at the start of next month. Something constructive to come from such a difficult time.
Another positive from the lockdown – lots of reading and movie watching:
