Filmmaking during The Pandemic

During COVID-19, television production was among the industries that had to adjust. Despite having experience as an executive producer, Randy Douthit encountered difficulties while working on the Emmy Award-winning courtroom program Judge Judy and was forced to make adjustments.

According to Randy Douthit, the pandemic made production time-consuming, and people had to adjust their way of business, including wearing masks, getting tested for COVID-19, and getting vaccinated. Douthit also had to change his shows and work from where shows such as Judge Judy Sheindlin moved to videoconferencing platforms. Working from home forced Douthit to work extra hard, and he produced 120 episodes in three months.

The Success of Judy Justice

After meeting the retired family court judge Judith Sheindlin, who played Judge Judy on television, Douthit was hired to produce Sheindlin. In addition to producing Judith Sheindlin for the past 25 years, he advocates for justice. He has been able to comprehend the American legal system for the years he has produced Judith Sheindlin.

During those years, he noted that people tend to be emotional over their lawsuits, which usually gets them in trouble. Instead, he advises people to be straightforward and do everything possible to win the cases.
