A Wall Away

Veteran filmmaker, Phil Gorn, and Kirk Zeller teamed up to produce The Picture of Daria Gray and were preparing for the final auditions when COVID-19 hit...

​

Quarantine inspired Phil to come up with the seed for what grew into A Wall Away, the concept of a couple falling in love by talking through a shared wall during the pandemic. Phil and Kirk expanded on that by writing a romantic comedy about how the pandemic brought an LA apartment community together and led to some new loves.​​

Directing Remotely and Filmmaking During the Pandemic: The Making of A Wall Away (formerly #MyCorona)

When Phil and Kirk were working to plan for the safest and most effective way to film A Wall Away they came up with the idea of directing it remotely and filming on a closed set at the Silicon Prairie Center Studios in rural Nebraska. They filmed behind-the-scenes of A Wall Away to be able to share with other filmmakers how they directed remotely and filmed safely during the pandemic.

Phil and Kirk are looking forward to resuming casting and production of The Picture of Daria Gray which was originally scheduled to start shooting on May 4, 2020.  The Picture of Daria Gray is a SAG-approved film that had to be put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

​

Finding Aloha, set in Fremont, Nebraska and Hawaii, is next in the filming queue.
