Reel Health Corporation launches a detailed COVID-19 response program designed exclusively for the Film Industry. The company has teamed up with industry leaders in global health and safety to efficiently and effectively assist studios, productions, and crew members in returning to work safely, and safeguarding against future industry-crippling health pandemic outbreaks.

“I have heard from dozens of colleagues, studio executives, and production managers who are seeking a clear, concise approach for TV and film protocols in order to start and stay shooting,” said Mario Ramirez, Founder of Reel Health Corp. and CEO of Reel Security Corp. “Reel Health is committed to helping get the industry back in business and unlike many other guidelines being released with important ‘departmental recommendations,’ we have created an agile, organized, scientific and medically-based program. There is a new reality in our industry moving forward and we want to help our colleagues get back to work safely and securely, giving productions peace of mind and the ability to focus on their jobs.”

From the founder of Reel Security Corporation, the largest provider of security to the entertainment industry for over two decades, Reel Health has brought together a team of infectious disease and epidemiology experts, physicians, health care personnel, studio and film professionals, lawyers and medical equipment manufacturers to create a comprehensive production health and safety program. These protocols will not only follow and comply with all required state and local guidelines but will go many steps further in order to mitigate risk and safeguard working conditions moving forward. Additionally, Reel Health has developed a user-friendly App which digitally logs all COVID-related documentation and daily activity, while stream-lining the on-set access.

Reel Health is uniquely prepared to provide essential protocols and services, which can be clearly followed and documented in real-time. So that should a COVID case appear, health officials can quickly and easily be assured all best practices were followed, avoiding a shutdown,” continued Ramirez. “Although this new landscape will require process changes when done right, this will allow productions to move forward as pioneers in the new industry standard and without significant disruptions.”
