From behind the camera to in front of the class with Film Professor Josh Ellis

We are joined on this episode by Film Professor Josh Ellis. Josh will share with our listeners the pathway he has taken from growing up in the Pacific Northwest to graduate school in Florida before moving to Los Angeles and working his way up in camera departments in film and TV before moving into teaching and back to Florida. He’ll talk about combining his two passions, filmmaking and education. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of going to film and learning through practical experience. Josh will share some of the innovative things he has done outside of the classroom to help his students be more prepared when they start working on sets and how he took his curriculum into his own hands and wrote a textbook.
