by Alex Billington May 31, 2021Source: Vimeo "The curtain only goes up when everyone has a part to play." It's showtime! Drawn Closer is an adorable animated short film made by the animation house Nexus Studios. It was made as an advertising project for Cox Communications, telling the story of a middle school drama department putting on a play - with some last minute changes. This story was "reimagined" as this animated short film after the pandemic cancelled Thurman White Middle School's play, but they got all the actual students involved to make this and it's just delightful. The short is written and directed by Oscar-winning animation filmmaker Patrick Osborne - of the acclaimed shorts Feast and Pearl previously, who is now working at Nexus Studios. This is just a feel-good bite-size ad, but it's the kind of feel-good filmmaking we always need more of these days. Watch below. Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this short.

Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud warmed many hearts on Tuesday when she shared a photo with her son on social media, just before the streaming platform's big announcement of going public on Nasdaq. "He’s two-and-a-half years old. So honestly, he was more excited about playing with his toy car! But kids are quite perceptive, and I know he could sense my joy. I can’t wait to tell him more about this experience when he's older," Sud told TIMESOFINDIA.com from New York City when asked about her son’s reaction on the big day. On Instagram, Sud describes herself as "Vimeo CEO" and "Saavi's mom" -- referring to her son. And as a working mother, she aspires for a work-life integration rather than balance. "I would like for Vimeo to be a place where you can be a parent at work, and I try to bring as much of my motherhood experience to the office as I can," she had said in an interview in 2019.

We are halfway through the week, short-sellers are feeling the pain, and investors are showing interest in a meme coin called Chibi Inu (CCC:CHIBI-USD). Beyond all that, what else did the stock market do today? Dive in with InvestorPlace below. Source: Shutterstock The S&P 500 closed higher by 0.19% The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up by 0.03% The Nasdaq Composite is up by 0.59% So what else did the stock market do today? Here are some of the top stories. What Did the Stock Market Do Today? Pump GameStop. Going into Tuesday, posters on r/WallStreetBets were largely focused on Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), following a successful test flight. SPCE stock prices were up, as was comment volume on the subreddit. For many retail investors, commercial spaceflight was the perfect moonshot. That all changed in just a few hours thanks to the resurgence of short squeeze hopes. Now, it seems that meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) are once again supreme. But things are different then the first short-squeeze frenzy. According to data from Fintel, the short interest on GME stock is at 24%. For AMC, that figure comes in at 27%. While those numbers are certainly elevated compared to…
