We have reviewed numerous recommendations, white papers (including the recent June 1, 2020 white paper issued by the AMPTP in collaboration with various studios, the DGA, SAG-AFTRA and IATSE), and internal guidelines from studios, production companies, guilds, unions, and international and local film and television organizations and this guide is an effort to aggregate certain best practices and guidelines to help you re-start physical production.
