Re: Drama Departments and Movie Creation

We are offering filmmaking in our Theater and Dance (formerly Drama)
department. We are also now offering screenwriting in that
tech-equipped classroom with some screenwriter software that has been a
big hit with the teachers who were not particular technophiles. It's
been interesting to see how creative the students are with this new Mac
lab with FinalCutPro. I am only remotely involved but if you need more
info, I can probably put you in touch with others at Exeter. I should
note that we have a dedicated ITS support staff person in the class to
offer support during the transition to technology.

Subject: Drama Departments and Movie Creation

I'm wondering if anyone can provide good models and/or stories of a
traditional Drama Dept. (where everything revolved around theater) that
has successfully transformed itself to include movie creation as an
equal partner to theater productions?

Thanks,

Fred
