Yellow Jack: Imagine Everyone at Home

March 29, 2020 by Robert Leave a Comment

People make documentaries, not for money, they make them for love because they’re committed and have stories they want to tell and think they can make a difference…but it’s very precarious work, always. And now this.

Yellow Jack: There’s a Lot To Do So We Better Go Slow

March 26, 2020 by Robert 3 Comments

Everyone has kicked in here….our doctors…all the health care professionals we’ve had any contact with…we were just so thrilled and we just felt so confident…you’re so vulnerable in this state. And then when you have people who are saying, it’s OK, come on and wash your hands, put a mask on, we’ve got this. It just does wonders for your sense of safety.
