Due to the impact of the Corona Virus, many industries have to move to a virtual format. However, it’s especially not easy for some industries such as Arts and Theater. AMC and broadway shows have all shut down the first time. The entertainment industry is also impacted a lot in China.
In this project, I am thinking of talking to three people who work for different audiences: American mainstream theater people, International Art group, and Chinese artist/ filmmaker.
I can skype with an off-broadway director who is making a virtual show, Gone Missing, at Baruch College. He can talk about this unique experience in his career life and the impact of the arts and the industry.
Also, I can interview a director of a non-profit organization which aims to help Chinese artist in New York via zoom. She is moving the monthly film screening and panel talk online.
Finally, I am can talk to a Chinese cinematographer who is facing the same challenge while the entertainment industry is in the frozen era all over the world.
