Production is currently taking place at various locations across Boston, Massachusetts, including the well-loved bar, Howl At The Moon, which has been converted to a restaurant named Bojo Mambo’s. While Don’t Look Up was originally projected to be released sometime in 2020, filming was pushed back due to COVID.
“Coming up to the finish line. Shooting in time of #covid_19 has been challenging but we still make this journey look easy. Grateful and blessed to be on this journey with such a phenomenal cast of artists. It’s all about the company you keep. Let’s get it!”
