Congratulations to fall FLM graduate Huda Rao! Huda reports that one of her favorite courses was Directing Comedy, and one of her favorite memories of her time in the FLM program was working with her classmates to create a final project, "Single Woman." We're so proud of you!

Students, please check your campus email and Moodle for instructions from your professors about how classes will be handled. The campus heating system repairs found new problems, and all the buildings FLM uses will be closed this coming week.

Congrats to OU FLM professor @bridgetkies.bsky.social on the publication of her new book about AI and the film industry!

Last week, Prof. Annie Sullivan gave a lecture on media from 1960s Detroit at Washington University in St. Louis. You can take one of Prof. Sullivan's many courses in Black media in the OU Film program.
