Casting director Russell Boast, producer Annabelle K. Frost, producer Nana Greenwald, writer-director Tamar Halpern, animator David Kuhn, producer-director Sheldon Larry and broadcast journalist May Lee have been hired as full-time faculty at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.
The new faculty members have worked on some of the most prominent film and television projects of the past 30 years, including the Harrison Ford starrer The Fugitive, David Fincher’s Seven and Disney’s Pocahontas. They will assume their new roles on Monday, Aug. 28, at the start of the 2023-24 academic year.
“This is an awe-inspiring group of teachers, whose range of experience adds a wealth of valuable knowledge to our already-impressive faculty,” said Stephen Galloway, dean of Dodge College. “I can only wish I’d had professors like this when I was in film school.”

Lineup Announcements
– The Human Rights Watch Film Festival will be presented June 9 – 18, with 21 topical and provocative feature documentaries and panel discussions that showcase courageous resilience in challenging times.

Now in its 28th edition, the Human Rights Watch Film Festival is co-presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and IFC Center. All screenings will be followed by in-depth discussions with filmmakers, film subjects, Human Rights Watch researchers, and special guests.

Llyn Foulkes: One-man Band screens at 7:30pm this Friday and Saturday (February 6th and 7th) at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium
80-year old, L.A.-based artist Llyn Foulkes has refused to define his career within the rigid expectations of the art world and is known as the “the most famous artist you’ve never heard of.” Don’t miss Tamar Halpern and Chris Quilty’s documentary on the eccentric painter/sculptor/musician when it screens this weekend at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 E. Lockwood in Webster Groves). Foulkes enjoyed fame and critical attention almost immediately upon dropping out of Los Angeles’ Chouinard Art Institute in 1959. But in the ensuing decades, he slipped into obscurity by refusing to duplicate his popular successes (particularly his rocky landscape paintings of the 1960s, and the “bloody head” portraits he turned to in the ’70s) or “play the game,” as he puts it,...
