Jenny Lion, Visiting Assistant Professor
After weeks of long critiques, night class Zoom sessions, and bad internet connections, the Fundamentals of Video Production class is proud to present our final films! Even when the world seems to be ending and our cameras are under stay-at-home orders, we have persisted to explore a variety of subjects such as family, identity, memory, and the COVID-19 epidemic itself.
Feel free to watch what peaks your interest, or all of the works in the presented order.
