“We’re committed to making Pinewood Atlanta Studios the cleanest and most secure production facility in the world,” said CEO Frank Patterson. “We meticulously examined our systems and the way in which people interact on our lot to solve for every point of transmission we could uncover. When production restarts, we want all crew members to know that their health and safety is our top priority.”
BioIQ will provide source test kits, oversee the testing processes and lab access for the thousands of individuals coming onto the lot every day including directors, producers, talent, crew and security personnel. Synexis technology actively deploys DHP into the environment to reduce viruses and other airborne germs. It’s used by sports leagues, hospitals, retail shops, restaurants chains and government institutions.
In addition to testing and filtration, Pinewood will offer PPE and top-of-the-line handwashing systems throughout the 700+ acres of the lot. The facility has also consulted with veteran crew members and experts in crew, costume and design to determine the safest protocols for the best way these individuals can interact, move and eat on set.
Elsewhere within the Pinewood Group, Shepperton Studios and Pinewood Studios are vigilantly aligning with the UK Government’s advice which has seen the implementation of strict site-wide protocols that has seen filming safely resume.
