The Department which I chair is well represented on the most recent NewCity Film 50 list (which spotlights makers, rather than maker/advocates/critics): Professors Thomas Bradshaw (also core faculty in the MFA in Writing for Screen+Stage), Kyle Henry, Melika Bass; adjunct lecturers: Stephen Cone and Maria Finitzo (also an alumna of the MFA in Writing for Screen+Stage '08); alums: Joe Chappelle ('86), Scott Dummler('93).
Happy to have helped organize this conference, featuring Academy-award winning sound designer/director Gary Rydstrom giving the keynote.
Please attend if you can.
Very excited about this event and our partnership with the Chicago Humanities Festival:
