I might not be making films if it wasn’t for Alexis Krasilovsky, now a professor at Cal State-Northridge. She also took the photograph of me in the editing room.\u00a0 Here is her website.<\/a><\/p>\n

The first dissertation I supervised was Charles Lyons’ at Columbia University.\u00a0 It became The New Censors: Movies and the Culture Wars<\/em> (Temple University Press, 1997).\u00a0 Charlie was a widely admired reporter for Variety<\/em> and continues to write for the New York Times<\/em> when he isn’t working on film projects.\u00a0 His personal website is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was also co-advisor for Miriam Posner’s dissertation Depth Perception: Filmmaking and Narrative in American Medicine<\/cite><\/a>, which I co-directed with John Warner.\u00a0 Miriam is now coordinates and teaches in the Digital Humanities program at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has a great website and blog about her efforts in these areas:\u00a0http:\/\/www.miriamposner.com\/index.html <\/a><\/p>\n

Suzanne O’Malley became the Associate Director of the Yale Summer Film Institute, where she teaches some of our most popular courses.\u00a0 Suzanne keeps me honest.\u00a0 Her personal website is here. <\/a><\/p>\n

Ashish Chadha aka Ashish Avikunthak is an experimental filmmaker and close friend.\u00a0 We ended up teaching Documentary Film Workshop in 2009-10, after which he got a job at University of Rhode Island.\u00a0 His personal website is here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom Isler (Yale’s ’03) was a Film Studies major who took critical studies courses with me in documentary and took Documentary Film Workshop with D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus.\u00a0 Post Yale, he has formed a company with his brother, Gloaming Pictures, and made a number of documentaries including a festival favorite–Two’s a Crowd<\/em> (2011).\u00a0 Perhaps we’ll talk about the Isler Brothers the way we used to talk about the Maysles Brothers.\u00a0 Tom has also gotten a law degree at Penn–and working on a documentary using his newly-established legal expertise.\u00a0 All this and more is on their Gloaming Pictures website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
