We were one of handful of productions still running at the time. Everyone was under pressure to finish it. There's always a possiblity that the driver of one of the actors comes down with a fever or cough and spreads it to the actor ....constant worry, you know what I mean? After three long weeks, we nailed it.

Could you please check the tense. I think the tense switch in the third sentence is possible because it's a fact.

Thanks.
