The film centers around an essential worker, played by Apa, who has a rare immunity to the virus and who delivers goods between the cities two halves of haves and have-nots, but who also has to contend with how to be with the one he loves while she’s still locked within her home. Mason also co-wrote the script with Simon Boyes, which takes place two years into the future as a more serious virus continues to mutate and lockdowns have been re-implemented across the country. SAG-AFTRA at first issued a Do Not Work notice against the film, but the guild soon lifted that restriction.Īlso Read: Pete Davidson, O'Shea Jackson Jr to Star in Sneaker Resale Comedy 'American Sole' at STX “Into the Dark” filmmaker Adam Mason directed “Songbird” utilizing creative camera techniques made to prevent actors from having face-to-face interaction with one another while on camera, all while actors were separated from crew as filming took place. It’s a pandemic thriller that stars KJ Apa and Sofia Carson alongside Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Peter Stormare, Jenna Ortega, Alexandra Daddario, Paul Water Hauser and Demi Moore.
“Songbird” was one of the first features to film in Los Angeles since productions shut down in mid-March, and recently wrapped production. This results in a feeling of passive aggression and lack of safety/stability/honesty throughout the entire company.STXfilms has acquired the North American and UK distribution rights to “Songbird,” the film that was shot in Los Angeles during lockdown and was produced by Michael Bay, Adam Goodman and Andrew Sugerman’s Invisible Narratives and Catchlight Films, STX and Invisible Narratives announced jointly Thursday. the company owner seems extremely defensive and hostile, but puts on a huge smile. Employees are instilled with fear about holding management accountable, speaking out, or offering real, honest feedback as everyone is afraid of offending or upsetting the company owner. This was a common feeling among the many colleagues I spoke to about it while working here. in terms of company culture: employees are often afraid of being suddenly fired for no reason. company meetings are often a waste of time actual student improvement and quality education seem extremely unimportant to management (they are more concerned with student retention and pay). Employee satisfaction seems extremely unimportant to management. management does not adjust or make changes based on recommendations from employees unless it makes the company more money with minimal effort. you are discouraged from taking any time off, and the company has made it structurally difficult to take that time off even if it is time you are owed. management will get angry with you if you need emergency time off, even if this is for health reasons What’s the point of having an admin team if your teachers have to do their own scheduling? Teachers are therefore expected to do a huge amount of administrative work. administration is overworked and underpaid as well, therefore they are stretched thin. The company has the resources and ability to offer scholarships, but has thus far chosen not to do so. This perpetuates the inaccessibility of music education for lower-income students and disproportionately impacts minorities and people of color.
while paying teachers far less than they deserve, the company structure is exploitative and also charges the students FAR too much for music lessons. If a student leaves for financial reasons, or because they are moving, or they don’t have the time anymore- any and all of these reasons are still considered your responsibility by management.
For example, if a student leaves because they are upset with the structure of the school, management holds YOU accountable. your “success” in the company (as determined by management) is based on your student retention rate, regardless of the reason students are leaving.
