Cavanaugh Lecture Series at the AMoA

The first Cavanaugh lecture for this spring features Patrick C. Clinton who will speak about the death of cinema and about how new video technologies promote successful low budget independent filmmaking.

The Last Getaway earned the Second Runner Up award in the feature film category at the Full Moon Horror and Convention Festival, and The Inherited earned Best Feature Horror Film at the Great Lakes International Film Festival. He now teaches at the Art Institute of Dallas. The lecture is free and open to the public.
