Message from Billy Budd Vermillion, Ph.D.
I am very excited about having the opportunity to work with students in the new MFA in Digital Filmmaking program at Anaheim University. There is much to explore in what Maxim Gorky called “the Kingdom of Shadows,” the myriad worlds that have appeared on screens large and small for over a hundred years. I look forward to teaching about the history of the moving image, to sharing my love of cinema with you, and to learning from all of you as well.
