Before moving to Williamsburg, I was Associate Programmer for the Arizona Media Arts Center, a nonprofit media arts center in Tucson, AZ. The Center operates a small theater, The Screening Room, and hosts the Arizona International Film Festival. I was extensively involved in programming thematic film series and writing program notes about individual films. I also taught community education film courses and occasionally lectured on various cinematic topics.

I am especially interested in studies of film history and genre. Examples of my writing include the following:

Ten Important European Cinemas

Eight Great Westerns

Applause (1929)
(Program Notes)

I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932)
(Lecture Notes)

Queen Christina (1932)
(Program Notes)
