Female Film Makers: Writers and Directors (Flexible Schedule)

Students will take a look at he varied careers of different women in film. We will discuss the different genres that they work in and how they approach storytelling differently. 

I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism. 

Each week, students will watch two films made by the women that we will be learning about that week. Students can choose any film they like and will watch it on their own time.  Some of these movies are rated PG-13 or R. Learners are to get parents permission before watching any film. 

No live meetings, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
