Biography
Jacob Dodd is an independent filmmaker and educator who creates short films in 35mm, 16mm, and 8mm motion picture formats. He specializes in personal memoir documentary and fiction filmmaking and combines traditional production techniques with experimental practices. Dodd uses traditional film methods to bring forth a feeling of nostalgia, a transcendence of time, and a sense of the familiar. He is an Associate Professor of Cinema and Screen Studies at Oswego State University of New York.
"After reading chapter 9 on Special Effects, I grabbed my Bell & Howell Filmo 70 camera to examine it more carefully, amazed that it held so many possibilities that I had been previously unaware of. Dodd provides indispensable shooting tips, inspiring assignment suggestions, while sharing his passion for filmmaking."
