Yale Film Prof. Marc Lapadula

Screenwriting Professor Marc Lapadula loves PSYCHO, THE GRADUATE, WINTER'S BONE and Roy Batty in BLADE RUNNER.  But there are more stories and characters he wants to see onscreen.  And a wider variety of people making and starring in them.  He joins Lady Eleonor to talk about the best of what is and what should be - in film - including social justice. 

Marc is a Senior Lecturer in the Film Studies Program at Yale University. He is a playwright, screenwriter and an award-winning film producer. In addition to Yale, Marc has taught at Columbia University’s Graduate Film School, created the screenwriting programs at both The University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins where he won Outstanding Teaching awards and has lectured on film, playwriting and conducted highly-acclaimed screenwriting seminars all across the country at notable venues like The National Press Club, The Smithsonian Institution, The Commonwealth Club and The New York Historical Society.
