I think that I could be a location scout-slash-set design coordinator. I don’t need to lead the department, but I could be in the background. So, if this acting stuff doesn’t work out, I could maybe pick up a career doing it virtually because that was the fun part.”
All Rise creator Greg Spottiswood opened up on how stay-home orders affected the shooting the show and is of the opinion the dialogue-heavy nature of his show allowed for remote production. A major challenge — predicting how the legal ecosphere to adjust to the novel coronavirus, with prisons becoming outbreak hotspots and video chats replacing in-court hearings. “The justice system needs to find a way to respond to this moment. Technology is one of the ways that they’re responding to it.”
