You got a Bachelor of Arts? That might get you in a door or two…maybe. Masters degree? A door or three. Ph.D? Congrats, you can play doctor for real. But really, if you don’t have your Degree in Screamology, your education ain’t gonna be complete. Luckily, the International Academy of Film and Television here in L.A., along with Bigfoot Entertainment (CHUD can vouch for those guys), is going to be holding a workshop titled Art of the Scream with director Lewis Teague as part of their Film Forum Series. Lewis Teague is the gentlemen director who brought you Cat’s Eye, Alligator, Cujo and the soon to be Syfy Original Movie, Alligator vs. Cujo (not really) to your senses.
