CCA Launches New
Graduate Program in Film
Academy Award--Winning Filmmaker
Rob Epstein to Chair New Program at
California College of the Arts

Academy Award--winning filmmaker Rob Epstein has been appointed chair of
the new Graduate Program in Film at California College of the Arts (CCA),
Provost Stephen Beal announced today. The all-digital program will launch
in fall 2008 and will be located on the college's San Francisco campus.
Film students will have the opportunity to work in documentary, fiction,
and experimental forms, with narrative serving as a common foundation.
Rob Epstein commented on the new program: "More than ever, there is
crossover and interplay between the modes and methods of narrative
documentary filmmaking and those of narrative fiction filmmaking. We will
be preparing students to be well versed in both, making the CCA film
program unique. Also, we will be one of very few all-digital programs in
the country, which will put us ahead of the curve."
The Graduate Program in Film aims to nurture a new movement in American
cinema. The goal is to teach the elements of narrative storytelling and
film aesthetics while giving students the tools to develop new forms for
communicating their ideas. The program will look to various models of
filmmaking, including independent and international models, as well as
film work made for gallery and museum contexts.
"We are very fortunate to have Rob in this capacity at the
college," commented Beal. "Interest in film has increased
significantly over the last few years, and we are particularly excited
about the possibilities of a narrative film program within the context of
CCA's broad curriculum of art, architecture, design, and writing. Rob's
stellar filmmaking credentials and deep knowledge of the film industry
make him the ideal person to lead this program."
Applications for the Graduate Program in Film will be accepted beginning
in fall 2007.

Guggenheim fellowship.
Epstein and Jeffrey Freidman established their own film company, Telling

film on Allen Ginsberg and his legendary poem. Their recent television
work includes producing and directing seven episodes of the NBC prime-time
series Crime and Punishment, a nonfiction spin-off of NBC's Law and Order.
They produced and directed Gold Rush, an episode of the History Channel
series "Ten Days that Unexpectedly Changed America" (which won
the 2006 Emmy for outstanding nonfiction series), and were series
directors and segment producers for the PBS newsmagazine Life 360 with
Michel Martin.
Epstein has taught in the graduate program at Tisch School of the Arts at
New York University and is currently an instructor in CCA's undergraduate
