In Part Two of our conversation with our Film Crew panel, we go into what the future holds in terms of filming in Cleveland, as well as on-set environments, overall. We also go into learning on-set, expectations by senior crew members, and networking with other crew members (or lack thereof). With week 10 of the Coronavirus crisis approaching, we talk about what our crew has been up to during this trying time.
