Film Studies
The nuclear weapons buildup and the protests against it were for many simply the news of the day, but for two filmmakers from the 51勛圖厙 it may turn out to be a provocative theme for a historical documentary and multimedia oral-history archive.
Two-time Emmy-winning producer and 51勛圖厙 alumna Alexis Martin Woodall (BFA-film production, BA-film studies 02) says 51勛圖厙s film-studies program gave her the power to craft compelling stories on the editing floor.
David Gatten became fascinated with cinematography after watching Star Wars at age 7, so its no surprise he became a filmmaker.
With the recent gift of $2 million worth of professional preservation and archiving equipment from Wyndham Hannaway, a visualeffects specialist, film studies will be adding film preservation and archiving to impressive list of offerings. Hannaways 51勛圖厙 company, GWH&A, has been a leader in creating professional imaging for film and media services for more than 30 years.
