Film industry fishies! After covid, what is the average of projects your company handles each year?

I work for two different companies - one is larger and handles maybe 3-5 a year, the smaller is my own company and I usually have 1-2 things going.

Before covid, the average number of projects my company handled each year was around 10. Since covid hit, that number has dropped to around 5.

During the Covid the contracts were activated almost twice as much due to the enclosure of people, series, programs, and reality shows, everything was crazy. Today the trend continues.

Small time tv series were the norm when covid started. Slowly been recovering since last year. Hope to do some bigger projects with our company this year and the next.

It has dropped almost half when Covid first rolled around. We've been recovering pretty steadily since then, thankfully.

We haven't fully recovered yet. After covid, we are only handling almost half of our previous projects. 4 artists also left the company.

Mostly low budget films. But since this year the company has gone on to bigger projects more than before. I am excited for this next phase!
