BuzzFeed Plagiarized My Short Film About My Experience With Mental Illness

noshameinoursickness:

I originally tried to get an article about what happened published but no one would help me to share my story so here’s what happened:

image

As many of you know, I’m a filmmaker and undergraduate film student and like any other nineteen-year-old Internet user, I loved BuzzFeed Video. Note the past tense. I used to drool over the idea of making videos for such a massive and millennial oriented website. So when I met a BuzzFeed Video recruiter at my university’s Cinematic Arts Career Week this March I jumped on the opportunity. After showing the recruiter my resume he urged me to apply online for their “Summer Video Internship” at BuzzFeed’s headquarters in LA. I went back to my dorm and applied the same day. The simple online application asked for a link to my “creative samples/portfolio” so linked them to my best short film,  “The Diagnosis” that I made and posted on YouTube in 2013. “The Diagnosis” got me into film school and even won Best Student Film at the Clifton Film Festival and I felt confident it would help me to stand out. 

image

About a week after I applied, I received an email from BuzzFeed that I did not get the internship. Though initially disappointed, moved on and I accepted internships at two other production companies instead, completely forgetting about my BuzzFeed application. Until on June 8th an actor from “The Diagnosis” posted the BuzzFeed video “If Physical Health Problems Were Treated Like Mental Health Problems” on my Facebook wall and joked that I had made the same video 2 years ago. As I watched the video, posted on BuzzFeedYellow’s YouTube on May 23rd, my stomach sank. BuzzFeed Video blatantly plagiarized of the concept and content of my film “The Diagnosis.” See below for comparison:

image

I may not be the first person to point out the stigma attached to mental health and its contrast to the way physical health gets treated, but BuzzFeed created this video suspiciously close to when they reviewed my film for their intern position. Ordinarily I would feel thrilled that such an influential company addressed the topic of mental health stigma, but when I dreamed about seeing my film go viral on the front page of BuzzFeed I never imagined it would be through plagiarism. When I shared this film with BuzzFeed I never authorized them to use or copy my original creative property. 

image

Because I applied to work there, BuzzFeed could have easily asked for my permission and/or provided credit where credit is due. But instead they took advantage of a naïve student filmmaker with a flimsy YouTube Creative Commons License and no money for lawyers. After all, why would BuzzFeed hire or pay the creator of content they wanted to use when they could steal it for free? BuzzFeed gets to profit off of this intellectual property violation and I am not the first content creator who had BuzzFeed steal their work without acknowledgement. 

image

Unlike BuzzFeed, I never made “The Diagnosis” to make money. I made my short film with a budget of zero dollars and zero cents, and then released it for free on YouTube so that the message could access the audience I felt it deserved. Worst of all, I made “The Diagnosis” about my deeply personal struggle with shame and stigma when I was first diagnosed with depression. My short film became a way for me to process and cope, as I based the characters and dialogue off of real people and conversations from my life. For BuzzFeed to cheapen my experience by stuffing my original film into their repetitive video formula and stamping their logo on it is not just plagiarism or taking advantage of a student, it’s extremely disrespectful. But if I have learned anything from my experience with mental health stigma, it has been not to let anyone silence me. Not even my former-favorite website.

I want to write a fic where Lilo goes to college and her roommate is Boo from Monsters Inc. Boo is the first person to think Stitch is adorable and cuddly, and Lilo is the first person not to act like “Mike Wazowski” was a weird name for a goldfish. They get on like a house on fire which is kind of bad for Nani’s blood pressure.

But then one night they wake up in the middle of the night because something is in their closet. And the door starts to creak open so Stitch tackles whoever (whatever) is in there. They fall back into the closet, the door slams shut… and when Lilo runs over and opens it there’s nothing but an empty closet.

Then Boo tells Lilo all about this weird thing that happened to her when she was a kid, and how no one ever believed her but she knows it was real. 

And cue Lilo and Boo busting into the Monster world to rescue Stitch and wreaking mad havoc in the process.

SEE THIS IS A WORTHY SEQUEL

This needs to happen

Petition for the movie to be hand-drawn in Lilo and Stitch’s style when they’re in the human world, and computer animated once they go through the door into the monster world.

this is the boy volcano. you can tell it’s a man because the song says so and also it has no tertiary sex characteristics, it just looks like a volcano. it’s a volcano with a human face

image

this is the girl volcano. you know she’s a girl because she literally has a pretty human face and long human hair and a high voice. if they didn’t make sure you knew she was a woman you might have thought these anthropomorphised volcanoes were Gay

Pixar’s Umbrella Heteros Short 2: This Time Its Volcanos

Or, you know, these two characters could be based off of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (IZ) and his wife, as IZ’s cover of Over The Rainbow was a huge inspiration for the song.

So there’s the slightest chance that the look of these two volcanoes might be fucking based off these two.

That’s just my take on it.

TV really lied to me

Fun fact: I went to an all-girl’s school. And they actually tried this one year and bought a dozen of the super expensive robotic babies for one class. Only two made it back in one piece. One of them was found in a swimming pool with no limbs. My generation should not raise children.

i got assigned a fake (flour) baby and i made clothes and a baby sling for it and it was fantastic

Oh my fucking God. Why is Tumblr complaining about fucking volcanos. They are literally just cute animated volcanos made by Pixar for some children. Shut the fuck up and stop the constant bitching over some useless shit.
