UFO is excited to announce it's guest speaker for fall term: Matthew Thill, Assistant Production Manager of Oregon-based LAIKA Studios and Cinema Studies alum, class of 2014!
Monday, November 14th at 6 pm in McKenzie Hall 125
Space is limited and RSVP is Required to attend. Follow @uofilm on Instagram for more information and to RSVP.
Matthew Thill is an Assistant Production Manager at LAIKA Studios and graduated from UO in 2014 with a degree in Cinema Studies. He bounced around for 1 year doing freelance work, but has stuck on at LAIKA since November of 2015. He worked in the central Production team for Kubo & the Two Strings, was an AD on the shooting floor of Missing Link, before pivoting over to the Animation team, where he currently works as an Assistant Production Manager during the filming of the recently announced Wildwood. Off the clock, Matthew can be found being a real baseball nerd either watching/playing, traveling around the lovely west coast, or at home playing with his cats.
Fun fact: Peter Alilunas is a Cinema Studies assoc. professor, an assoc. department head, a recipient of the 2017 UO Ersted Award for Specialized Pedagogy—and he is a UO alum!
We were so excited to hear from CINE alum Hanna Mason, BA ’21! @channamason is the Operations Manager with BendFilm and is busy preparing for the 19th annual BendFilm Festival.
