BSDS Thursday Night Films
With the ongoing social distancing efforts happening in our communities (and around the world), people are looking for ways to spend time together, even when while physically apart. To help fill that gap, I’ve been organizing weekly joint viewings of movies using Netflix Party for members of the design group, BSDS.
How Netlix Pary works:
Netflix Party is a plugin for Chrome-based web browsers for people to coordinate and chat about a movie at the same. Participants can pause and restart the film so everyone is watching it from the same point. Members give suggestions for movies to watch and each Thursday, links are posted in the BSDS slack group for people to join the coordinated viewing.

What is BSDS?
Bay State Design Shop (“BSDS”) is a growing community that’s for New England-area designers, by New England-area designers. Our Slack channel is an inclusive gathering spot for all stripes of designer—veteran practitioners, up-and-comers, and greenhorns alike—we’re an egalitarian, pretension-free place for designers to talk shop, chew the fat, and lend each other a helping hand. Think of Bay State Design Shop as a lively potluck dinner that everybody’s invited to.
We’re a place for designers to ask questions, share insights into their work, offer constructive, real-time critique—as well as get a heads up on job opportunities, resources, and events in the area. Rest easy though, friend; we take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Be assured there’s a heaping portion of malarkey served up daily in our scrappy design clubhouse.
Founded in 2017 by designers Ryan Arruda & Erik Weikert, Bay State Design Shop has grown organically over the last year, and is proud to have over 300 members amongst its roster. You know what, though? It’d be an even better place if you joined too.
So hold onto your hats, folks—you had BEST BELIEVE™ that the Bay State Design Shop is ready to welcome you to its ranks. So, what do you say? If you’re a New England-area designer, come pull up a chair and sit a spell. The conversation is good, the people are genuine, and the snacks are free.
