The San Luis Obispo International Film Festival will host its annual Shortcuts event on Monday, a collection of eight short films written, directed, shot and edited by students. One of the featured shorts, “Career Fair,” follows the painfully accurate reality of networking in 2026. In a world dominated by endless LinkedIn posts, social climbing and corporate psychological warfare, the film is a refreshing reminder that maybe some things don’t need to be taken that seriously. Reporter Makena Locsin sat down with first-time screen writer Ryan Quisol about his film.
