The president of Pinewood Atlanta Studios – one of the largest studio complex outside of Hollywood – told WABE’s “Morning Edition” it’s time to get back to work and resume production. The studio is based in Fayetteville and sits on 700 acres.

But president and CEO Frank Patterson said he first has to ensure the entire work environment is safe for everyone. He guessed that Pinewood would be back in production by this fall.

“We have put together a task force and are working with the studios, guilds, unions and associations to try to share what we can do on our part,” Patterson said.
