Hollywood has come to a grinding halt. What’s next for the assistants holding the industry up?

“When I was working on the show it was 60 hours a week, pedal to the metal. But after we wrapped in December I was enjoying the bonding period with my daughter and taking general meetings for staff writer positions and shopping my pilots with development executives. Now, I'm self-quarantining because I had head and neck cancer a couple years ago and all the lymph nodes in the right side of my neck were removed, putting me at a higher risk for [the coronavirus].

“My show was placed on a ‘two-week hold’ less than a week before it was to begin shooting its first season. I have no idea if I have a job after coronavirus, but I'm not hopeful. This is partly due to a lack of communication, but also because our lead actor has other commitments. If the actor's other work gets pushed, we might be able to make it work...It's quite obvious our studio and network are being careful not to make any promises.
