Joshua Eferighe posits on OZY that The Next Big Indie Filmmaker Might Be a TikToker.

Joshua’s key points:

• “The social media platform is shaping the future of filmmaking.
• Novice filmmakers are using the platform’s sophisticated editing tools to learn the trade and test their work.
• Unlike Instagram, TikTok’s algorithm allows users without many followers to go viral, adding to its popularity.”

What is TikTok? The Chinese app claims to be “the leading destination for short-form mobile video. Our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy.”

Why is TikTok valuable to filmmakers? The hashtag #cinematics with 3.7 billion views.

See these risks and this safety guide.

My take: Shorter is better! Remember Vine?
