I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado at Boulder in recognition of a remarkably lengthy thesis on the American Film Musical of the Fifties. Here, I studied under avant-garde master Stan Brakhage, noted film historian Bruce Kawin, and was the personal research assistant to Professor Melinda Barlow, a film historian and Joseph Cornell scholar. I taught the clases "Forgotten Silver: A Reel View of Film History" in Spring of 2003 and "Woody Allen in Exisenstial Crisis" in the Fall of 2003 at Facets Multimedia in Chicago. I have also published articles in Bright Lights Film Journal and The Film Journal.
