“We are doing scenes that require the least amount of cast members at first,” said producer  Christopher Acebo while talking to a media outlet.

“We’re in open space and open locations so that’s also been really, really helpful in terms of the shape of the film and how we’re able to keep safety,” Acebo added.

But while it’s business as usual, state guidelines over safety measures have to be taken care of by all filmmakers. The directives include wearing masks, taking temperature checks, and crew members staying at least six feet away from each other.
