However, as production commenced, our executive team encountered conflicting priorities, leading to a significant budget cut from $20,000 to $5,000. As the project's producer, I was accustomed to navigating changes, but this adjustment posed a considerable challenge.

Despite the constraints, the shoot proved to be a success. Our compelling content caught the attention of People Magazine, further amplifying the impact of our collaboration with Nathan Chen.
