“I will tell you, I was on a zoom with the head of a streaming platform and her eight-year-old daughter came in to ask a question in the middle of the Zoom and I felt so happy and so relieved because I think we're all going through very similar things where we're trying to do these jobs that we love, but we're also trying to stay connected to our children in a moment when we know that they're incredibly vulnerable. It's actually something that Sarah and I talk with Reese about a lot because she has three kids too. And so we spend a lot of time talking to one another's children. And it's actually quite nice.”

“Well, I think if he wants to be a producer, the best and fastest way to get going is to find a piece of material that he really loves. Little fires, as Sarah was saying, is an amazing example of we read a book that hadn't yet published and we loved it. And we saw it as something that we wanted to celebrate through our book club, but also we saw it as a limited series. We knew what the show was. So I think that my advice for him is try to find a book that you love, try to find an article that you think would make a great movie or make a great television series, and then challenge yourself to take it and put all of the pieces of the puzzle together, find a writer that you love, come up with a take, you know, and then approach other producers that might be able to mentor you and guide you. We often partner with producers who have incredible taste, but might want to partner with us because we're going to help them to flesh.”

“Absolutely. We are very lucky that we were pretty much in business with everybody. We start with telling stories that move us, telling stories that we feel passionate about. And then what we do, we're very lucky because we're not tied to one particular place. So what we're able to do is find a story that we love, find a story that we're passionate about telling, put a writer into the project that we know is exactly the right writer, find the actress that we think is perfect to star in that show. And then the Hollywood term is packaging, right? So we put the package together, we put the group of people together that we think is perfect for that project. And when we bring it out into the marketplace, we always choose the place that shares our passion, right? So when they love it, like we love it, we know it's the right fit. And I think we've been very lucky with so many of our shows to really find perfect.”

“Representation and inclusion, which is a huge part of our mission at our company, I think has become something obviously that is at the forefront of every conversation in our industry right now as it should be. So I think it's a real time of opportunity and it's quite inspiring.”

“I have to tell you, I think it's a great time to be a woman in Hollywood. Truly, you know, there are so many people that are doing incredible things, but I certainly put Reese at the top of that list. I think she has really devoted herself to putting women at the center of stories and advocating for women and sheering women on as they are doing the same and talking to them as they're creating production companies. I mean, we're constantly talking about, you know, this person is creating a production company. Who would be a great person for them to hire? This book isn't exactly right for us, but maybe it's exactly the thing that this person is looking for, I think, you know, it's a really wonderful time of collaboration among women in Hollywood. I have been so inspired by the transformation that I have seen in the time that we have been working at Hello Sunshine, you know, telling stories about women has really come to the front of everyone's minds and obviously also.”

“Because of it, and I think we're all looking out for each other in an extraordinary way. And I think that that was something we were all moving so quickly before. I think slowing down a little bit isn't necessarily the worst thing.”

“It is definitely weird. I will be honest. It does feel like things are a bit frozen, but I actually think things are also thawing. I think this is an opportunity to slow down and to connect in ways that maybe we weren't slowing down and making time to connect before. I think that is the case internally at Hello Sunshine, but I also think in a very remarkable way, it is the case externally. I find that, you know, where typically we roll phone calls and we go from call to call to call to meeting to meeting to meeting, I'm hearing about people's kids. We're talking about school, how people ask, how are you and they really listen? We're really interested to know, and I think that we're doing something where we're building a foundation, where when we do come back, we will be stronger and better.”

“Well, our shoot is more like six months for a season. So it's a longer stretch. And I think though we aren't right now talking about going into a bubble, quote unquote, I do think what we're talking about is how to be as safe as possible and obviously, you know, when you go into these into these production papers, we're creating zones so that only the very most essential people would actually be on set so that we will be reducing risk and everyone will be honoring everything around social distancing and people making sure that they are appropriately covered and that everyone is taking all precautions. I think there are lots of conversations being had, but not ones to answer your question, not ones about a bubble in the way that the NBA is, though I think that people are talking about that when they think about shooting out of state.”

“Can innovate together to get productions back on their feet quickly. And look, I mean, there are shows that are going to be going back in August from what I hear. So I think we're well on our way.”

“It is not all filmed, we are figuring it out right now, we are talking to epidemiologists, to health and safety experts. We've got a COVID coordinator. We have a world-class team that is working with us to figure out every single day what do we do. We've had our epidemiologist came and looked at our sound stages and the ventilation and figuring out, you know, obviously there have been all of these white papers that have come out that talk about what is required in terms of health and safety. And thankfully, each of the studios that are producing these shows also are doing their own sort of COVID Bible, as it were, talking about all the precautions that they're going to be taking. And look, people are taking this incredibly seriously. Health and safety is the most important thing. And in a very inspiring way, I think companies are working together to share, you know, information and ways that”

“That will hopefully grow in the years to come. And in truth, if we have been in production on the three shows and the movie that we thought we were going to be in production on, we might not have had time to build out the development slate in quite the way that we have. So I think that there has been a silver lining, but I will say we are all more than eager to get back into production and we are spending our days figuring out how to do it safely.”

“Correct. We had just started shooting our second season of the morning show and we were meant to have a show start production for Amazon, a show called Daisy Jones and the sixth was going to start in April and then we had another show for Netflix called From Scratch that would have been starting this month. And we have paused everything and we are deep in figuring out how and when we can come back for each of those shows. But I will say, you know, we've used the time in inspiring and extraordinary ways, I think we were dealt a very specific hand. Unfortunately, you can't congregate with large groups of people on a set on a sound stage anymore. So what we really did was we took the opportunity to connect with our team internally and also with the people that we create with. And we've really, I think, planted some wonderful seeds of development.”
