No. LA’s COVID situation is bad right now. There’s so many ways to virtually tune in nowadays.

Im at an LA agency. I have a strict rule that no client or agency people can go to set. Production only. We virtually tune in and get photos uploaded in real time on Google Drive. For video, we have a ton of processes too including Zoom tune in - especially for interview/VO. So so easy to set up.

I flew to SF from LA in Sept, wasn't a lot of people flying the route at that time. SF also had a pretty good handle of the virus and everyone took hella precautions. Being on set probably saved the concept. LA is hot rn though so I don't think I'd fly to it.

Grass ain’t greener in LA right now. Shoot remotely.

No.
