Hollywood’s COVID Vaccination Mandate Gets an Expiration Date 

Hollywood’s COVID Vaccination Mandate Gets an Expiration Date 

Officials have announced that Hollywood’s COVID policy will expire for the film and TV industry on May 11th – including the mandate that required all cast and crew to be vaccinated. “The date coincides with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ end to the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency declaration on May 11,” the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers said. Any production with a vaccination mandate in effect as of May 11 will continue to implement the procedure throughout the duration of filming.

"We have been fortunate to have made two movies in Maine — The Way We Get By and Beneath The Harvest Sky.” Maine is a very special state in that there are so many options for locations. Given its size, you can travel to northern Maine, southern Maine, all along the coast, and tell a number of different stories in totally unique worlds with each film having very distinctive looks. The abundance of locations combined with the incredible generosity of the people and communities, make filmmaking in Maine a pure joy. We would not be filmmakers today without the support from the people of Maine and we will be forever grateful."

- Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet, The Way We Get By and Beneath the Harvest Sky
