The unexpected challenges of 2020 left no industry unscathed, and that includes the Movie Industry. From Hollywood to New York, all who make their living by making movies found themselves in unfamiliar waters, negotiating the needs of safety with the needs of making better movies. To balance these needs was often complex. As theaters closed and release dates were pushed back, many movie studios grappled with issues and strategies that were unique to their movies — and yet, in the tradition of classic feel-good films, they didn’t give up.

Rest assured, the movies will shine once more!
