Brandon Colvin

Brandon Colvin grew up in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. His passion for cinema was aroused at age 13, when a couple of older kids showed him David Lynch's Eraserhead (1977). He attended college at Western Kentucky University. There, he developed his interests in academia, filmmaking, and programming. Those interests were honed during his time as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he earned his PhD in Film. Brandon split his time between filmmaking, teaching, and programming. He currently works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media at the University of Alabama.
