LESSONS LEARNED FROM COVID-19
Film making industry involves a huge cast and different stages of production for a single project. It is a tedious process of producing a film but the outcome is what entertains us in theatres. The tedious process includes an initial idea, scriptwriting, casting, shooting of the film, sound recording, pre-production, editing, and screening. What we get to see on the large screen for 2 hours is nearly a year's hard work by the whole cast & crew of the production team.

Before COVID-19 hit, smart tech in the home, as well as the wearable health and fitness variety, was ideal for many people. It kept us on track with our wellbeing, reminded us to move more, reminding us to calm down and even can warn us if we’re about to have a heart attack, which is definitely a benefit, whatever way you slice it.
