International Film Festival, Rome, Italy 2010) and TEAR VOID INSOMNIA
MIST (opening feature, International Xperimental Film &
Animation
Festival, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2007). As a 2008 recipient of the
Kenan Institute for the Arts' BREATHE Grant, Mr. Semilian met with
three filmmaker-artists who have provided him with continuing
inspiration: Brothers Quay and Jan Svankmajer.

literary journals as Arshile, Exquisite Corpse, Suitcase, Word Letter,
Callaloo, Syllogism, Talisman and Cinema Editor. His

Faculty: Editing and Sound (2008)
Ron Roose has worked in the film industry for over forty years – primarily as a feature film editor and more recently as a screenwriter.
He has guest lectured on editing and screenwriting at the University of Southern California and at Clark University. This is his fifth year at UNCSA.
He first learned film editing in New York City under the tutelage of Dede Allen, one of history’s most honored editors. Ron’s feature credits include THE WANDERERS, HOFFA, SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER, STAR TREK VI and THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP. He was also the editor on more than seventeen other theatrical and television releases and received a Golden Reel for his sound work on the THE WIZ.
His writing credits include COLLATERAL DAMAGE, released by Warner Brothers., SPOILS, and a novel, GALLIVANT, published by the Dial Press.
In the realm of film where Ron makes his educational home, it’s not just how to cut from the master into the coverage on Premiere Pro or Avid that’s essential to the rhythm and drama of a story. The mechanics are but the road to a greater end.
It’s what sticks in the heart that matters.
