Film & Video Instruction
Keith has extensive teaching experience through his work as the program director of the KidsEye Filmmaking Camp and his experience teaching at Tufts University, Boston University, and the University of Rhode Island. He currently teaches the upper level film and video production courses at the University of Rhode Island which focus on editing, experimental filmmaking, and narrative video production. He has also taught the beginning film production courses which focus on 16mm filmmaking and digital editing both at the University of Rhode Island and at Boston University. In addition, he also teaches an introductory film studies course, which combines the topics of film theory, film history, and film criticism. All of the courses focus heavily on aesthetics of film and video; and for the production courses, the learning of new technologies. At Tufts University, he developed and taught a class on the representation of youth in film and incorporated film theory, history, aesthetics, and new media theory into that syllabus.
"I believe in experiential learning. The students in my courses gain as much outside the classroom as they do inside the classroom. Once a month, I take my film production students to Boston Open Screen (an open-mike night for filmmakers) where they are able to screen their work in a movie theater in front of an audience. I have also brought students to Brooklyn, New York, to tour the set of television’s second longest running drama, As The World Turns. Students not only toured the set and watched the production, but also met with one of the long time producers of the show. In addition, I have recruited students to work on film shoots. Most recently, some of my students worked as production assistants on the feature film Party Like It’s A Verb, which was shot in New London, Connecticut during the summer of 2009."
"I love the collaborative part of filmmaking. I surround myself with those who are excited about film and artistic expression. I also enjoy teaching others about the art of filmmaking. I work with middle school, high school, and college students and feel rewarded when they prove to me that they can create meaningful moving images."
