Clarke & Ryan on Film School Trends: Filmmaker Magazine
Visual and Media Arts Chair Shaun Clarke and associate professor Mike Ryan speak to the current film offerings at the College, as the industry is ever-evolving, from changes such as streaming and labor strikes affecting the field, to name a few.
Clarke:
We acknowledge that the industry has expectations for the future that are more interdisciplinary.
Ryan:
Students in our programs don’t declare concentrations or specialization. Students are free to explore a range of disciplines – not just film but photography, new media, installation art and video game design and development – at any point in their time here.
Clarke and Ryan point to the recent successes of alumni Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, Tyler Taormina, and Carson Lund as filmmakers whose “hybrid” styles are producing impactful work early in their careers.
