With the pandemic putting film projects on hold, the staff and students at Brooklyn College Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema Studies have to adapt to a new teaching model.
After a completely remote spring semester, only a select few courses allow in-person for the fall. Faculty say they realized that filmmaking is really about collaboration.
Out of 200 students that go to the school, only a fraction are allowed in the building at a time and have to go through a rigorous screening process beforehand.
The school sanitizes equipment after each use. It only allows a five-person crew to produce films, which is under the city madate of 50 people.
