7 weeks ago my wife and I both tested positive for Covid-19 and I decided to document our entire journey (which won't seem to end....). The first week or two was just with our iPhones since I was trapped in our apartment with no gear, but a few friends dropped off enough gear for me to carry on with the documentary with my normal Canon C200 kit. I had no idea what was going to happen, but fast forward to today and we have a 41-minute documentary that we are now trying to find distribution for. Here is the link to the trailer: https://MakingLemonade.Film If you'd like to ask any questions about the filmmaking process I'd be happy to answer them here on the forums.
