Dustin Guest Lectures at Skidmore College

I was thrilled to return to my alma mater, Skidmore College, to guest lecture a course titled “Sports Cinema” (American Studies - #333).

After showing clips of Locker Room Talk and 32º — two documentaries I made not long after graduating from Skidmore — I led class discussions about the issues each film tackles. I also answered questions about the craft of documentary filmmaking and shared my early career experience with students.

In addition to teaching “Sport Cinema,” Professor Segrave also hosts a freshman seminar, “Sport, Self, and Society.” That was the first class I took at Skidmore and it inspired me to pursue a career in sports storytelling.

What an honor it was to be invited back to Skidmore courtesy of Professor Segrave!
