Naturally, this makes filming a blockbuster like “Matrix 4” in the city impossible, but “Adam and Eve” just might be able to pull it off. The low-budget production is a love story about an ex-Marine struggling with PTSD while running a pizza shop, and although it does shoot all over the Bay Area, they aren’t exactly leaping from buildings in the Financial District. For an independent filmmaker like Brian Hooks, the writer-director-star of “Adam and Eve,” it’s a challenge that plays to his strengths.
“My foundation is learning how to make films with two hands tied behind my back, so to speak. I was forced to know the ins and outs of how to get things done on a budget,” says Hooks, while the crew prepares for a scene filmed in a creek near the pizza shop. “But this is pretty crazy. When it first hit, we didn’t really know when we would be back up and running. How, where, if we’d even be allowed.”

Instagram’s latest update has introduced new anti-bullying features. These will help filter out negative comments by warning users and even hiding comments that break the community guidelines, but the company could do more.
The update comes as part of Instagram’s ten-year birthday celebration, which also includes classic icons and a new Stories Archive. The most important change, though, are the new features dedicated to fighting online bullies, which include expanded comment warnings and a system to completely hide comments considered offensive. While a step in the right direction, the new features continue to fall short of the actions Instagram needs to take, according to one expert.
“I think Instagram is taking a step in the right direction, but it’s not enough,” Makaila Nichols, best-selling author of Blatantly Honest: Normal Teen, Abnormal Life, said in an email interview. “It’s so simple for a bully to make a multitude of fake accounts, but what’s to stop them from doing that if they lose their account the first time?”
