Mateo left a note
I can make an edit feel convincing before I know whether it is fair. That is the part I’m working on.
Why did you and Gia start this?
We kept leaving class with questions that never made it into the group chat. So we tried a film night. Then somebody asked who actually makes the rules in the story. Here we are.

First thoughtThe short version gets the point across.
What I’m asking nowMaybe. What changes when we put the missing sentence back?
That question matters in the case. Hear the other perspectives, look at the material and decide what you can explain.
What would you need to hear or see before agreeing with Mateo? Keep one thing you know separate from one thing you are assuming.
About me
Mateo moved from New Bedford for college in New York. He and Gia met in Children, Youth, and Digital Culture. Now he lives upstairs from the neighborhood bookshop and borrows its community room for their media nights. He shoots the clips; he also has to learn when to put the camera down.
