He had numerous complaints in his resignation letter.

He claimed he quit over lax COVID policies, the housing situation, and gun safety.

He said the crew was not prepared for what they were doing that day.

He also said that he only had two safety meetings with the whole crew.

Costume designer Terese Magpale Davies has disputed his claims.

She claims that the “narrative” of “unsafe, chaotic conditions” is false.
