Professor Thelma Vickroy is Chair of the Department of Cinema and Television Arts at California State University Northridge. She attended New York University's famed film school at a time when female students in the department were rare—in fact, she was only one of three at the time. She went on to work with the legendary documentary filmmaker Robert Drew at Drew Associates. Thelma's vérité and portrait documentary films include "Ahmed, Say Something Funny," about Egyptian-American comedian Ahmed Ahmed, “Extraordinarily Ordinary,” about Pasadena artist Val Echavarria, and the story of her father told in “Gun Shots & Word Thoughts.” In Thelma’s own words, when asked about what makes her tick: “Grit - you either have it or you don’t.”
