I'm Doing My Job Trailer Follows Six ER Doctors Through Covid
Deadline has released the exclusive trailer for I'm Doing My Job, a 50-minute documentary set for release on October 12, according to Deadline.
The film is the directorial debut of filmmaker and YouTube creator Aneri Shah. The run time is 50 minutes.
It follows six South Asian and African American women working as emergency physicians in New York and Chicago during the COVID-19 pandemic. The doctors at its centre are Dr. Shivani Mody, Dr. Ameera Haamid, Dr. Shazia Sohrawardy, Dr. Sabena Vaswani, Dr. Smruti Desai and Dr. Humaira Ali.
The release plan is transactional video on demand first. From October 12 the film will be available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube Movies and Vimeo On Demand, with Tubi and other streaming services to follow later in the autumn, according to Deadline.
Behind the camera, the film is produced by Aneri Shah Studios and distributed by Monkey Wrench Films, which handles sales and placement with platforms. Shah shares executive producer credit with Matthew Mills, founder of Spacestation. Editing is by Sharika Ajaikumar and Kopal Goyal, with Erika Kramer as director of photography and an original score by Grammy-nominated composer Priya Darshini.
What makes this stand out is the route to the screen. Shah built an audience as a creator before moving into long-form directing, and her first feature-length credit keeps the focus tight on six working doctors rather than hospital institutions.
