The producers teamed up with lawyers and health experts to discuss how to safely film during the COVID-19 pandemic. All cast and crew members had to take multiple COVID-19 tests and all had to self- quarantine for two weeks before filming began. During the two-week production, are that were involved in the film had to wear a face mask. Furthermore, rehearsals took place in parking lots, meals were consumed in selected zones, temperatures were checked at the beginning and end of each day, and no more than a dozen members were allowed on set.

All cast and crew members followed other strict protocols which included handling their own costumes and microphones. The WGA, DGA, and SAG-AFTRA all approved the safety protocols.

All parties deserve a round of applause for following such a rigorous filming environment.
