Investor Ideas interviews award winning film producer Chad A.
Verdi on how he sees the entertainment and business world as it is
today during Coronavirus Pandemic
Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – April
13, 2020 – Investorideas.com (https://www.investorideas.com/), a global investor news source covering entertainment and
music issues an exclusive interview with film producer Chad A.
Verdi discussing the current situation in the sector as the Covid-19
pandemic forces the industry to a halt.

In regards to the Coronavirus
pandemic, how is your business and industry being directly impacted? What are
your options and what's going on for you in the crazy world we live
in today?
Chad A.
Verdi
Wow, we are living in unprecedented
times, to say the least. One day the future is bright and untouchable and
then the next day the world is under seize. We as a whole nation need to
come together and support one another during these trying times.
This is the only way we can get through this crisis. Social distancing
is for real and it’s our new norm, so get used to it and follow the rules.

Based on the recent projections,
the United States will infuse up to Seven Trillion dollars into
its economy. What are your thoughts on this?
Chad A.
Verdi
This is a tough question for me. On one
hand we must do all we can to protect the lives of all American citizens
but at what cost? The implementation of social distancing was a MUST,
the 21 day lock down is a must, but after that, I am not sure what else
you can do without destroying our economy. Just think of this
for one minute, how about we spend one trillion on just solving all health
issues we are faced with today; cancer, aids, hunger just to name few. We
would save tens of millions of lives each year. So I vote for
spending eight trillion and fix it all. We could rebuild every third
world country and find a vaccine for every disease known to
mankind with a trillion dollars. We need to just do it...

Do you feel the world economy will
come back and if so, when?
Chad A.
Verdi
The United States economy will
come back and comeback strong if Washington can keep the dirty politics
away. Both parties need to come together and put us Americans first. We should
hold all those who stand in the way of this process accountable and replace
them, all of them. This is no time to try to point fingers and play Monday
night quarterbacking. All other nations will follow suit and take our lead
if we can show them we are all united.
Q:
Investorideas.com
What's going on in Hollywood
today? Can this industry come back?
Chad A.
Verdi
Yes, the industry will come back
but the landscape will be totally different. This tragedy
and that's what it is, a tragedy, has redefined
the entertainment business forever. There will be fewer theatrical
releases now than ever before. Many theaters will need to shut their doors as
the P&A financing for these films has dried up. Going to a ball game
won't be the same for some time. Streaming is the new norm and that's not going
away. Apple, Roku, Netflix and Disney will control this space
and benefit hugely as others try to complete for some market
share.

What’s next for you and Verdi
Productions? and Congrats on The Irishman, ten Oscar nominations, you must
be proud.
Chad A.
Verdi
Thanks. The Irishman is the best
film I will ever be involved with and it will go down in history as one of
the greatest films ever. For me things are looking very good
in regards to film. I have five projects on the books with two of them
filming in the state of RI, my home town. God willing I will be shooting in
Sept/Oct 2020 but not sure what film I will pull the trigger first on. I
was in pre-production on a film titled Ask Athena but I needed to postpone that
project because of the situation we are now in. But I am now considering
pushing that film to late 2021 and filming a comedy titled One Shot, that
will be directed by Tom DeNucci. I need to make that decision soon. I have
two films being released this year, one being Wander with
Aaron Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones and the other a doc title Tough
Love, the Lennox Lewis story. So we will be very busy in 2020.
