In March of 2020, American life was altered with the declaration of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. Our industry (like so many) came to a grinding halt overnight as local governments attempted to get a handle on the unpredictable virus. Since that time, progress has been made in communities across the United States and as productions begin to start once more, we would like to take the time to outline how we are moving forward to keep everyone as safe as possible during these uncertain times.
Scientists are continuing to learn more every day about the various aspects of the SARS-COV-2 virus and the illness it causes, COVID-19. With that in mind, as we reopen we are looking to official scientific guidelines provided by the W.H.O., the C.D.C., and others to provide direction on how to keep our clients and staff as safe as possible. We have also been working closely with our partners in LA and NY to ensure that we are all on the same page regarding health and safety standards across the industry.
We have been sanitizing our equipment to the best of our abilities with a combination of UV-C lights and high concentration alcohols, and we have every intention to do so until it is deemed no longer necessary by I.A.T.S.E.
If you have any questions about our sanitation practices, please feel free to get in contact.
The pandemic is an ever evolving situation; one that we are happy to meet head on. The health and safety of our staff and clients is our top priority and, by extension, the health and safety of our community. We keep ourselves up-to-date with New Mexico’s updated weekly health orders and proceed accordingly.
Recently, the State of New Mexico announced that they would follow C.D.C. recommendations to lift mask mandates for those fully vaccinated. While we understand the enormity of this milestone in the pandemic, it is still industry standard to wear masks when not eating or drinking. As such, we intend to continue to comply with I.A.T.S.E. guidelines to ensure that we are in line with industry standards.
We will continue to request that everyone entering our premises wear a face covering and observe social distancing. We also continue to request regular hand washing and sanitizing.
We appreciate everyone’s continued patience and cooperation with this evolving situation and if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email. We’re happy to chat.
We are currently back to our normal operations, though we do advise that our offices are closed to walk-ins. This means that, unfortunately, our expendables office is restricted to employees only at this current time.
If you’re interested in purchasing expendables in person, we request that you call ahead or email your needs to us and we can get the items prepped and ready for pick up.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of our sanitation practices, feel free to let us know. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have regarding this new way of film making we are all having to deal with.
We greatly appreciate the community support and the patience with which everyone has been conducting themselves. We will get through this and when we do, we will be a community that is as strong, vibrant, and creative as ever.
