3. The Show Will Be Entirely Self Filmed
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the entertainment industry having to get creative when it comes to filming new content. As a result, many shows have taken to allowing people to film themselves, which is exactly how Hot Mess House was produced. According to Cassandra, “So we’re recording that Skype call and then they each have GoPros that they’re sort of filming and they’re filming on their phone and the entire thing is completely self shot.”

When it comes to keeping things organized at home, everyone’s situation is different. Some people live alone and others have children.
