Reopening Hollywood: How Stephanie Laing-Directed Indie Pic ‘Shoot The Rooster’ Amidst Pandemic With Henry Winkler, Margo Martindale, Judy Greer Atop Cast
Mike Fleming Jr Co-Editor-in-Chief, FilmEXCLUSIVE: In a filmmaking strategy that must have given her a sense of deja vu when she watched the recent Emmy Awards to see cameras in the home of every nominee, Stephanie Laing has managed to direct Shoot the Rooster, an indie feature based on loss in her own life that she co-wrote with Brad Morris. She accomplished the mission by sending around 23 cameras to the homes of her cast so that they could set up the scenes under her direction and shoot safely as COVID-19 shut down the business.
