Would you like to participate in one or more of these coming attractions? Better yet, would you like to help make any or all of them happen? If so, please contact us (see button on my "office" page) and we'll begin turning vision into action.
Please keep in mind (as I often remind myself) it's NOT necessary you have previous experience or expertise to participate in any of my courses or clubs, just great curiosity and interest in the subject matter at hand, and a strong desire to learn. With much of the subject matter in my courses, I am but a beginner, amateur, or armchair observer myself, a student as much as anyone else.
As a film and philosophy teacher, my main concern is seeing the bigger picture, multidisciplinary study and collaborative investigation for a broad understanding of the whole shebang. Another priority of mine is the application and practice of cinema-based education, that is, using motion pictures as the foremost method of instruction and learning, which, given my master's thesis, might be seen as my specialty.
That said, I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks! Dean
