OK, here we go. Click here to get to the list of directors you can choose from. Don't forget to have one person in your group comment on this post, and leave the following information: The names of everyone in your group, and your top three directors you'd like to study for this project, listed in order of preference. As soon as I let you know which director you're studying, you'll need to get crackin', because your first set of comments is due Feb. 18. Good luck!
This is my seventh year teaching film, and ninth overall. I got my B.A. in journalism in 1998 from the University of Minnesota, then worked as a sports writer at The Star Tribune for awhile. I eventually went back to the U for my master's degree in English education, and started teaching in 2001.
I live in Minneapolis with Susan (wife, works at General Mills), Jack (son, born in August '08), and Gunnar (dog, a PBGV -- look it up).
