The Cinematography Podcast Episode 71: Brendan Davis Brendan Davis is a film and television producer for the Chinese and U.S. market. Based 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 currently 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.
