Case Study: Wrong Reasons keeps production on track during Covid-19 with Yamdu

We spoke to David Shapiro and Liv Roush about their upcoming project Wrong Reasons and how Yamdu is helping them navigate their crew through shooting during COVID-19.

Wrong Reasons, a feature film production, faced the significant challenge of creating a low-budget project during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team's primary hurdle was scheduling and managing the complex, mandatory COVID testing for their cast and crew in accordance with strict SAG-AFTRA guidelines, all while protecting their tight budget from unexpected disruptions. To meet this challenge, they turned to the Yamdu production management platform.

The solution was implemented using Yamdu's production calendar and scheduling tools, which enabled the team to intuitively plot and manage the intricate testing schedule alongside their shooting schedule via a drag-and-drop Gantt chart. This provided a central hub for the entire crew, ensuring everyone was notified of changes and stayed on the same page. As a result, Wrong Reasons experienced zero COVID scares during their shoot, maintained a safe work environment, and successfully avoided any budget-threatening surprises. The Yamdu platform was credited as a complete solution that saved significant time and enabled the project to continue in an organized fashion.
