TigerSwan was tasked to create a plan that would allow for filming in close proximity, while mitigating the spread of the virus. Within one month, our specialists submitted a comprehensive plan to both the studio health and safety team and the Hawaii Film Commission. The plan was accepted and this shoot became the first “return to work” effort allowed in Hawaii during a time of very strict travel and quarantine protocols. Our plan that included pre-screening, decontamination stations and protocols, exposure isolation and reporting procedures and personal protective equipment dissemination was recognized by the IATSE President for Honolulu for it’s efficiency and compliance with union and guild requirements.

Due to the successful “Kate” reshoot that included 20 weeks of filming and a cast and crew of 350 people, TigerSwan was awarded several other opportunities to replicate this plan for additional films such as “The Gray Man” and “The Pale Blue Eye,” both of which contained all-star casts and experienced crew members with a much larger footprint. This is yet another example of our team finding a solution to an unfamiliar problem, a theme that permeates much of our work.
