How One Hollywood Company Pivoted From Making a Movie to Making Face Masks

The Greater Syracuse Soundstage in Onondaga County, New York is being used by Jeremy Garelick and his American High Productions to manufacture 3-D printed face masks.

“Everyone was there and ready to go. Then the virus shut us down,” says Garelick, the writer-director behind comedies like, who founded the shingle in 2017 in a partnership with Mickey Liddell’s LD Entertainment.

Garelick is currently self-isolating with his family back in Los Angeles and homeschooling his four kids, all under the age of ten. He brought on American High’s production head Will Phelps and Syracuse Studio’s Molle DeBartolo to assist with on-the-ground operations, and put out a call to his network in the area. “We immediately got lots of volunteers — people from our crew and actors, who we had locally cast and had worked with us previously,” he says.

Budmen and the team at American High have made 2,000 units as of March 30. By the week’s end he estimates the facility will have fabricated and delivered nearly 5,000 face masks. Their current global requests number 260,000.
