Here are a couple of posts by the Director
Here are some posts that I made back at the time
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
May 6-9 I had my first sleep away acting gig. We were shooting a vertical format web series of mini-episodes. This is a remake of a series that has been very successful in China.
Here's a promotional video for the series, my part starts shortly after 19 minutes. It's a long promotional video. These vertical series are typically viewed in an app on cell phone. This one is apparently called Short TV.
Thanks to my sister-in-law for finding this clip. She immediately remarked that the real "Raft of the Medusa" is 16'x24', much larger than the one shown in this clip.

Here are some set pix
The director gave me a nice compliment. She said I was the prettiest grandma in NYC. Swelled head.
I bought myself a little souvenir on my own. Part of the plot includes references to fake antiques. This is such a one.
The team that made this series is very impressive. Since there is vertical format, they can have multiple cameras at once, each one focused on one actor. They only had to do one or two takes of each scene. Normally they have a separate take for each view, but this way they don't have to take separate takes for different views.

Concerns:
The characters in this show are mostly very poorly behaved. My cast mates compared this show to a series called "Succession," which I haven't seen.
Some of the characters are depicted committing crimes such as commercial bribery and conspiracy to monopolize interstate commerce. A concern I have, as an attorney, is that viewers may not realize that these acts are white collar crimes.
If you see a murder depicted on a a show, I think you know right away that that's a crime. You immediately know that you're not supposed to do that yourself.
I'm not sure if the viewer of white collar crimes -- as shown here -- knows that they are just as much crimes as physical crimes like murder and assault.
I wish there were some kind of warning about the criminal nature of the activity depicted.
