Mask On and Off
In this fun film based on SFU’s half-hearted — I mean, full-hearted — COVID-19 measures, we explore the reality of having such efficient mandates. Thorough methods of protection, like the vaccination surveys no one needed to verify their answers with, the lack of training with Zoom, and more are featured in this creative film.

Along the way, she finds the metal scaffolding winking at her! What?! Watch this creative love story unfold, brick by brick.

Just wear 20 jackets, and be prepared to take them off at a moment’s notice. We don’t have a temperature problem!
