- Shade at the beach photo by Angela Guice caught NUCONTEXT Head of Production, Jessie Marcus, throwing some shade in this photo and showing the crew she's so good she can produce with her eyes closed. Filming a commercial on a private island in the Bahamas might seem like the ultimate dream gig, but the reality of dealing with the blazing sun, hot sand and hauling gear in the heat are more of a production nightmare. Jessie shows us when working in extreme heat conditions you have to keep your cool, stay hydrated, maintain your sense of humor and of course, seek shade wherever you can find it. If you can't find shade, you make it.
