Biography
Clint is a film studies generalist, but is particularly interested in post-1960 Hollywood & American cinema, contemporary international cinema, and video games. He completed his PhD in Cinema and Media Studies at The University of Chicago. His dissertation, “Playing with Cinema: The Development of Audio-Visual Style in Video Games,” was an analysis of technological and stylistic change in games since the 1990s, via their formal relationships to cinematic art. He received his BA from Harvard University in Visual and Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Film Studies. At the University of Chicago, Clint has served as a Lecturer in CMS, as a CMS BA Preceptor for undergraduate majors preparing a written thesis, and as a writing instructor in the Core program.
