I teach media production classes in the University of Alabama Department of Journalism & Creative Media to help students get started on their life journey as media producers.
My personal journey spans 40 years as a television producer and documentary filmmaker. My work has been shown on public television and in theatrical screenings around the world.
I retired from full-time work a few years ago and now work part-time as a teacher. Our JCM 201 classroom is a television studio where I worked years ago on productions distributed to PBS stations nationwide.
Students take part in demonstrations and short productions in the studio. Then we send them out on their own to record short films on location. They learn by doing what I have loved doing all of my life.
