Quarantine Time: Production

 Over the weekend I went to a wedding. I had a great time with my family. I danced all night it was great. We got home late. And over the next few days my Dad wasn't feeling too good. We weren't too concerned at first. He took some medicine and it heled. But it never got better. He went to the doctor and was diagnosed with something minor. But we got the call. We found out a whole bunch of our family members had caught Covid 19. That was when we started to worry. So we thought it would be best to test him. And unfortunately he tested positive. He quarantined immediately to avoid contamination. We tested the next day and we're negative. However, I won't be able to film Saturday. So we'll need to reschedule. Hopefully, we find a new fair and date to film. Til next time!

Extreme closeups are used to show the womens fear as the intruders are continuing to try the door. Yet another fla...
