166 - Max Normand & On-Set Safety

In this episode: Interview with Max Normand, PA & AD

Max Normand currently resides in North Hollywood. I've been around the film industry virtually my whole life. His father, David Normand, is a 1st AD so he grew up on set and was handed his first walkie at 12 years old. Since then he's PA'd countless jobs, and has moved up to the AD department. He was recently on a shoot that was shut down due to a positive case of Covid-19 on the crew.

WGA tells it's members not to sign Covid-19 liability waivers as a condition to return to work.
