One industry has blossomed during the pandemic: film production. We're joined by Donne Dawson, the State Film Commissioner, and Irish Barber, Business Representative for the Local 665 Chapter of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, to get the behind-the-scenes rundown on the State's showbiz. We talk inclusion in cast and crew, the nitty-gritty of movie-making, and what this industry can offer the islands.
