NEW YORK --(SPW)--
Veteran New York producers will discuss how to manage Covid-19 safety during post-production in the next edition of Post Break, the weekly webinar series from Post New York Alliance (PNYA).

Producers Luca Borghese and Gail Barringer will describe measures post-production companies need to take to protect staff and clients. They will discuss necessary protocols and costs, and offer their view on who needs to take responsibility for making it happen. PNYA Chair Yana Collins Lehman will moderate this vital session, scheduled for Thursday, December 17 at 4:00 p.m. EST. Following the webinar, attendees will have an opportunity to join small, virtual breakout groups for discussion and networking.
