Aminado ang direktor na si Erik Matti na may mga pangamba at alinlangan siya para sa pelikulang Pilipino, lalo na sa pagtatapos ng enhanced community quarantine sa May 15.

Sasailalim naman ang ng bansa sa general community quarantine o GCQ kung saan kabilang ang pelikula at telebisyon sa mga industriyang maaari nang magpatuloy.

Hindi raw matukoy ni Direk Erik kung babalik pa rin ba sa dati ang industriya, lalo na at may na tinatawag nang "new normal."

Bukod daw kasi sa wala pang kasiguraduhan sa kaligtasan sa mga set, alam niyang nagbago na ang pananaw ng mga manonood at maging ng filmmakers matapos makaranas ng matinding sitwasyon tulad ng COVID-19 pandemic.

"What stories can we tell after this? Do we all just go back to how we used to be telling random film stories for everyone's entertainment?

"Certainly after the scare we all went through, we all just need mindless fun to get us through being imprisoned for more than a month.

"But isn't that what we've been doing all this time? Watching anything and everything that can take our mind off the worst that's happening out there?" sulat niya sa kanyang Facebook account.

Inulit niya ang kanyang sentimiyento tungkol sa mga Korean drama at iba pang international series na siya raw magiging rason ng pagbagsak ng pelikula at teleseryeng Pinoy.

"Is it enough that as storytellers we just resume our lives and do a version of the top popular hits we saw during this lockdown?

"Let's do something like Money Heist but with a bit of Crash Landing on you. Patok yan!!!

"Or do we do something so original and out there of a story but deep down inside know that no one will bank roll it because no one can see its promise?" aniya.

Inamin din niyang hindi niya alam kung anong direksiyon ang tatahakin ng industriya matapos ang COVID-19 pandemic.

"Where do we go from here? Certainly, we will rush back to work after this long haul because why not? We need the money. But the question is, is it still what we want to do?" dagdag niya.

Hindi pa tapos shooting ng On The Job 2 ni direk Erik nang maabutan sila ng lockdown. Sequel ito ng pelikula niyang On The Job na pinagdibahan nina Gerald Anderson at Piolo Pascual noong 2013.
