Join fellow emeritus alumni for a coffee chat and hear from guest speaker Reb Braddock, Dean of the College of Motion Picture Arts.

10 a.m. Social, 10:30 a.m. Program
RSVP by Monday, April 15.

The narrative of Reb Braddock's life as a filmmaker, teacher, and creator reads a little like a Hollywood script you couldn't write because no one would believe it. "A story about a guy who starts out working in the film equipment room signing out cameras and ends up in the dean's office in charge of the whole school stretches the imagination," Braddock said with a laugh."It's an honor to serve in this job."
Before being seated as the permanent dean of the College of Motion Picture Arts, Reb Braddock served the college as a faculty member, associate dean, and twice as the college's interim dean. Braddock was admitted to the very first MFA class when the Florida Legislature created the film school in 1989, and he has been a pivotal partner in the film school's growth since.
Dean Braddock is an accomplished filmmaker in his own right. He has worked as cinematographer, writer, assistant director, director and executive producer of a movie soundtrack album. He has collaborated with such notable artists as Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino, hard rock guitarist Slash of Guns N' Roses, as well as musicians Nile Rodgers and David Byrne. His feature film writing credits include "Lubov" with Rita Frumkin for Silvestri-Friedman films; "Iron Men" with Doug Stewart for Arnold Kolpelson at 20th Century Fox; and "30 Day Wonder" with Frank Patterson for Lampadusa Films. During his tenure at the College of Motion Picture Arts, Reb has continued to write, consult on scripts and help produce independent feature films.
