A Virtual Conversation on COVID-19 Set Safety with Alumnus Matthew Morgenthaler

Film production is starting to slowly return. But is it safe? Tisch West invites you to a virtual seminar to discuss recent COVID-19 set safety best practices.

The seminar will be hosted by NYU alumnus and Tisch West co-president, Matthew Morgenthaler ’09 (BFA, Film & TV), a line producer, DGA UPM, and recently minted Health Safety Manager for feature films, TV, commercials, and music videos. Matthew recently wrapped a major production that closely followed the industry’s recommended safety protocols and is currently advising other productions how to implement COVID-19 safety.

Join Tisch West at 6 PM PT/ 9 PM ET on Thursday, August 20.

This seminar will aim to answer the following questions…

-How are shoots big and small currently going about COVID-19 safety?

-How are they finding adequate testing and resources?

-How much does it cost?

-What protocols are being recommended by the entertainment industry, the guilds, and unions?

-How can I determine if a shoot I am asked to work on will be safe?

-If I want to have a shoot, how can I possibly pull it off safely?
