Focusing on development, green-lighting smaller, more containable projects and urging governments to take on the role of insurers are just some of the measures co-producers are taking as they navigate their way through the fallout created by the coronavirus pandemic.Times, produced by film industry body U.K. Film, Wildgaze Films founder Finola Dwyer said that her company has already postponed shoots in Canada and the U.S. and was now focusing on development and local production.

Dwyer revealed that the company – which released “Dirt Music” last year – is busy in development and has been working on some proof-of-concepts: Including a project by British novelist and screenwriter Nick Hornby.Related StoriesExec producer Mike Goodridge, currently working on Swedish director Ruben Ostlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” starring Woody Harrelson and Harris Dickinson, revealed that the €30 million “production was around “37% complete” when the world went into lockdown.

Goodridge – who is optimistic that the Swedish shoot will resume shortly and the Greek shoot will happen “by the end of the third quarter” – added that the film’s Swedish insurance policy fortunately covered them for COVID-19. “On a domestic level, New Zealand is effectively out of it now – I can go to work in my office – there is lots of work – but everything is more difficult than it was,” he said.
