Keathley is a great professor. His classes are engaging and he is easy to bounce ideas off of. If you're interested in film, I would highly recommend this class because of its unique angle on film, and if you get to take it with Keathley, that's even better.
Low-key the best and most fun class I've taken at Midd. If you have any interest whatsoever in video essays, TAKE THIS CLASS. You get to pick any movie/tv show/form of digital media at the beginning of the semester, and then just make video essays about it each week, practicing a new skill on Adobe. Homework (making video essays about the things I'm most passionate about) for this class was the HIGHLIGHT of my week. Jason is so flexible and does not care about grading, only about you getting better. Couldn't recommend this class more!

Keathley knows what he is talking about, and he knows what makes a good film. The movies we watched in this class are unlike anything I have ever seen, and are easily among the best I have ever seen, so if you have the chance to even audit this course, take it. In class discussion is incredibly enriching and profoundly deepens one's understanding of what is watched in screenings, so they are not to be missed. The readings are disposable and not necessary to engage in discussion, but you will find them helpful for when you're writing papers. Because of this, the workload is approximately zero aside from one weekly screening and the three papers over the course of the term. Keathley is a profound facilitator of conversation and extremely personable—take his class.
