We are living through a very strange and profound moment in our history. The last 3-4 months have been an absolute whirlwind. In addition to the social unrest across the country over the past few weeks, we are still in the midst of a global pandemic. As COVID-19 began rapidly spreading across the United States in mid-March, I felt compelled to document how it impacted ordinary people. However, social distancing protocols prevented me from creating a documentary in the traditional sense (like this film I made last year). This is how I made a documentary during a pandemic.

I recently stepped out of my comfort zone to make a short film about a story that has captured the attention of my city. It took a lot of courage on my part to make it happen. I had to get uncomfortable, and the payoff has been amazing. This is the story behind my Cecily King documentary, You Are Enough.
