 Martin Mudry ’09 is a senior Psychology major from Cleveland, Ohio. While Martin’s interest in film and video production began much earlier, it was during a class in his sophomore year at Macalester when he rediscovered film. He has produced both experimental work- exploring the edges of the medium, as well as, more traditional videos including his contest winning video that can be seen here»
From his involvement with film and video at Macalester Martin has had the opportunity to become a teachers assistant, teach film and video to middle school students, and travel to Los Angeles to shadow an executive producer on a film set. Greatly because of his experiences at Mac Martin is considering a career in the film industry.
Martin’s tip: check out the Humanities, Media and Cultural Studies department at Mac if interested in video theory and production.
