In collaboration with Biomeme, I orchestrated COVID-19 testing strategies for Sony Pictures studio productions and on-set film shoots, prioritizing the safety of all personnel. Biomeme, a pioneer in mobile testing solutions, enabled us to offer rapid, on-site lab results, surpassing the speed of traditional, distant testing facilities. Our goal was to integrate a seamless digital workflow with these on-site labs, tailored to the dynamic needs of film production, while rigorously adhering to privacy, security, and health regulations. With these measures in place the production of all movies and TV shows could resume as early and as smooth as possible.

Renowned Los Angeles photographer Jürgen Reisch faced a unique challenge due to the pandemic: providing high-quality portraits for his client Eyecare Business and their annual "Game Changer Awards," traditionally held in Las Vegas. With the event venue closed and travel restrictions in place, I helped him devise a creative remote solution while still upholding his commitment to excellence and satisfy the client's requirements. Leveraging technology available to most people already, we facilitated a process where awardees used their smartphones to capture sophisticated portraits under the guidance of Jürgen Reisch who remote controlled the phone's camera features. The results were outstanding and the client decided to keep the exact format for three more years with us at the helm.
