The Cinematography Podcast Episode 71: Brendan Davis Producer
Brendan Davis tells his story about fleeing China before it was
shut down for coronavirus Brendan Davis has been producing film and
television for the Chinese and U.S. market in Beijing for the past
few years. He was in the midst of developing the feature film My
Favorite Season and was planning a trip back to the U.S. when he
got word from a doctor friend that the city would be shutting down
and a stay at home order was imminent. Fearing an extended
lockdown, Brendan got on one of the last flights headed to San
Francisco, keeping his mask on nearly the entire time, and is
temporarily living in Los Angeles, which is under a mandatory stay
at home order. He talks about the differences he's noticed between
the Chinese and American governments and how people have been
reacting to the crisis. Brendan Davis also hosts a few podcasts: If
