Meetup #176

New members this week came from graphic design, 3D/VFX, and neuroscience, proving once again that “filmmaker” is not actually a job title requirement here.

Challenge check-ins on the GDR-nostalgia comedy, a museum-park poem short, a philosophical office-set short, a stylized water-VFX music video, and the self-consciousness cafe short. A censorship-focused master’s thesis ran an actual viewing experiment comparing an original sitcom episode against its Iranian-censored version, remote participation welcome if you’re curious. And the housing-market comedy locked its location and cast for a shoot on 23-24.4, including a “crazy grandma” role that we assume someone is having a great time with.
