UCSB Faculty Makes For An Interesting Read

Speaking of Books…
At the moment I am debating going back to school part time.
This made me think about my undergrad, which was at UCSB in what I think is a great place for film theory, history and analysis. One of the best around in fact. They have no real production side although Dana Driskel does what he can with limited resources. If your after the why rather than the how, UCSB is great. I thought I might take a moment to list some of the interesting work that has come from my teachers at Uni.
