As the scriptwriter for Exitless, a documentary chronicling the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, I faced numerous challenges. One of the most significant was the production team’s unique circumstances: none of us ever met in person. Our team was dispersed across different cities around the world, navigating different time zones and lockdown measures. Despite these obstacles, this very isolation became a strength, infusing the film with an authentic and deeply personal perspective on the pandemic’s reach and resonance.
