SFTV is home to visual storytellers, media-makers, and the creative forces that will shape the future of entertainment. In light of the global pandemic we now find ourselves in, the industry is seeing massive shifts in the way that content is being produced, delivered, and discussed. Many resources are thankfully being made available to students and the public—you just have to know where to find them. So, we’ve rounded up our favorite resources for students and creative professionals in this Storyteller’s Guide to the (Online) Universe.
