Did you know you can be an expert in fan culture? Spoiler alert, you can — that’s exactly what media scholar and trailblazing associate professor Suzanne Scott is! Prof. Scott’s research and teaching focus on fan studies, comic book culture, digital and participatory culture, cult media and more. Before joining @utexasrtf in 2014, she received her undergraduate degree from NYU and her M.A. and Ph.D. from USC, and has taught at Arizona State University, UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, and USC. She has authored and edited numerous books and journal articles, earned multiple accolades, and is regularly sought out by media outlets for her expertise. Prof. Scott thrives on how a classroom mirrors a fan community, sharing the same elements that spark her curiosity. We’re a big fan of this fan expert and are grateful to have her guiding our future media trailblazers. 🤘

Hear that? This week’s trailblazing faculty is Assistant Professor of Practice and Audio Area Head, Prof. Korey Pereira! Prof. Pereira attended @utexasrtf and stayed involved with the department by mixing end-of-semester student films until joining the faculty in 2018. He’s the founder of Soularity Sound, a post-production sound company based in Austin, Texas, and works with several Austin and LA-based crews as a Dialogue Editor, Foley Mixer, or Supervising Sound Editor. Of his accomplishments, the most notable is his 2022 Primetime Emmy for sound editing on ā€œStranger Thingsā€ Season 4. The next year, he was nominated for a Golden Reel for his work on ā€œStranger Thingsā€ and won for his work on ā€œPrey.ā€ He’s also been on the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ Board of Directors since 2021, where he now serves as interim vice president. Prof. Pereira enjoys helping storytellers bring their visions to life through sound, which is one of the reasons we’re so fortunate to have him teaching and preparing our students for the media industry 🤘

Our next media trailblazer is animation and video game expert Professor Ben Bays! Prof. Bays’ specialty is in creating virtual worlds, and he’s produced animation, motion graphics, concept art, and CG models for a variety of media, including television, feature films and video games. He worked for more than a decade in the video game industry, where he shipped 16 games, designed for both tabletop consoles and handheld devices. He’s taught at @utexasrtf since 2008 and is now the inaugural director of the Karch Gaming Institute and was the faculty sponsor of the Academic Esports Team, which competed internationally this year. Prof. Bays is driven by helping students learn about creative technologies and pushing them to find new possibilities that could revolutionize those industries. Thank you for helping create our own student trailblazers! 🤘

Who could better prepare our students for the media landscape than our very own trailblazer and department chair, Cindy McCreery? 🤘 After earning her B.A. in Film Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, McCreery began her screenwriting career. She was a Walt Disney/ABC Feature Writing Fellow and has sold feature projects to New Line Cinema, Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, National Geographic Films, Warner Brothers, MGM, Branded Entertainment and Lionsgate. She also writes for television and has sold projects to Disney Channel, NBC, TNT, Televisa USA, Universal Television and more. McCreery has taught screenwriting and television writing since 2004, first at UCLA, then UC Santa Barbara, and now at @utexasrtf . She is fueled by being a champion for her students, reminding them that it may not always be easy, but that you’ve got this! 🤘

We’re honored to be one of the film schools recognized as an honoree in @variety ’s Education Impact Report! The report spotlights schools that meet challenges with creative opportunities for students looking to break into the industry. In recognizing us, Variety noted our proximity to the growing Texas production boom, the Texas Film Commission, and local studios, and also cited our minors and training across all areas — from studio to field production to editing and storytelling. Hook ā€˜em! 🤘
