Brief descriptions of what I can offer online or in person

My article, first published on Academia.org, looks at how four directors 

use different film elements to interpret the same original literary text. 

The scene examined here is Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy.

My article, "I Listened to a Great Film Last Night", was first published in IB Review.

The power of music as a film element is often overlooked by students in their textual analyses. 

The article features Psycho. Billy Elliot, Taxi Driver and Donnie Darko.

My article on crime films was first published as “American Crime Films as 20th Century Morality Plays” in Re-reading America: Challenges and Changes, published by Reardon Press.

The Morality Play is an allegorical drama popular in Europe, especially during the 15th and 16th centuries, in which the characters personify moral qualities (such as charity or vice) or abstractions (as death or youth) and in which moral lessons are taught. (Britannica) 

Modern crime film such as the Coen' Brothers' Fargo and Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan are modern takes this ancient genre.
