I’m sure many of you have been glued to social media these past weeks. I know I have, my Instagrams been inundated with memes--some funny, some offensive--trying to rationalize, justify, accept the coronavirus epidemic. Some are actually quite effective at spreading awareness, and motivating the public to unite instead of act selfishly in a time when resources are scarce and people are afraid. It is also important to laugh. As young people during this outbreak, we’re in the unique position of being familiar enough with social media to utilize it as a both a tool to create awareness and as a means to document, creatively and aesthetically, the state of our current lives. This ability is powerful.
So, for the remainder of the semester you have two options:
1. Finish our film projects such that each person will be “officially” responsible for manifesting a different part of the assignment (someone in charge of filming, editing, etc…)
2. Create a Stony Brook Film TikTok account that you will be in charge of and update.
We will document what’s going on in our community. This could go viral, I think.
So, here’s two alt schedules:

March 31st th-
● Discuss the two options. Watch TikToks from around the world.
