This episode is a little different from our usual interview format: it showcases an inspiring and heartwarming project from the Advanced Web Video Production class taught (remotely, of course) by Professor Frank Chindamo of Chapman University’s famous Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Amidst all the dire news flooding our Twitter feeds and news shows, Professor Chindamo is tasking his students with producing TikTok videos that focus on a recent good news story. The creative videos the students have come up with can be viewed on a dedicated TikTok channel, “ForYouFromUs”: https://www.tiktok.com/@foryoufromus.

This is a short video featuring a few highlights of the final presentations. Be sure to catch a short cameo of YouTube star, David Dobrick!
