Covid 19

Like most other businesses, we at Crow’s Eye Productions have been very limited in what we could achieve during lockdown. We had had a whole year of projects planned, and many of them cast too, which have all had to be postponed or cancelled. However, we are re-planning and have some very interesting costume films in the pipeline. We are also working on some mini-documentaries.

Editing, research and costume making all continues behind the scenes, and we are working on safety protocols for returning to filming in these strange and difficult times.
