Filming coming-of-age dance feature The Red Shoes: Next Step was an exercise in thinking on your feet, according to producers.
Directors Joanne Samuel and Jesse A’hern began production on June 15, just prior to the beginning of restrictions that would lead them to reschedule daily timelines, change locations, reduce film crew, become subject to regular police visits, and even switch an entire dance group.
Despite these challenges, wrap date was only delayed a week, with filming finalised on July 23.
Executive producer Tanya Esposito, who also produces alongside A’hern, told If they were glad to be able to finish shooting before further restrictions were put in place.
“We finished just before the second group of LGAs was locked down, so it’s really tight now,” she said.
“It was a nightmare to shoot in as it was, and I probably wouldn’t recommend it at the moment unless you are in a locked-in studio location.
