Students, Professors Adjust to Film School During COVID-19

GOLDEN GATE XPRESS -- Beyond just faculty, students are also finding ways to adapt to the new set of circumstances. Celine Viravong, a fourth-year Cinema major, has struggled with finding the tools she needs to produce films. “We can’t really get equipment from school,” she said, “so we’re all putting in what we have on hand.”

Despite the barriers put in their way, students and staff have remained motivated by their passion for the medium, using this worldwide lull to look inwards for material. “We can always tell stories about ourselves and our communities,” said Johnny Symons, documentary coordinator for the department.
