Steve Mensch, who oversees operations at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, says just a few months into the pandemic last year, the studio started quarantining hundreds of cast and crew members in on-site housing.
He says that created a blueprint of how to get back to work. Now, he says, they’re booked through the end of 2021.
“For the very first time, I have no space on the lot,” Mensch told the House Creative Arts and Entertainment committee on Wednesday. “Usually we’re able to squeeze a piece of work in here or there, but we are absolutely at capacity.”
