The Covid Project
Amanda created the following films in the Spring of 2021 as part of her Fundamentals of Film class. Due to COVID-19 safety restrictions, students had to provide their own equipment and could only have a maximum of 5 people on set (including actors). These films were all shot using an iPhone and followed COVID guidelines. They also required a more centralized style of filmmaking, in which Amanda contributed her efforts toward various production roles. Her films demonstrate that, despite a pandemic, storytelling can live on.
