Panelists:
Terrence Hayes

After a few year of working on various independent films, he decided to head west to the American Film Institute where he honed his skills as a cinematographer. To date, he has worked on television shows from Bravo to Showtime as well as numerous narrative films including: On Broadway, Happy Birthday (with Steven Tyler), The Box (starring Cameron Diaz) and this year's indie hit, Manchester by the Sea.
Michelle Millette
is an assistant director and union camera operator in Austin, TX. She has ADed over 20 feature films, including several Sundance favorites: Hellion (2014), A Teacher (2013), and The Land (2016). She's also worked production on hundreds of TV episodes (From Dusk Til Dawn: The TV Series, The Leftovers, American Crime), commercials, music videos, and other film & video productions. Michelle is an active member of I.A.T.S.E. Stagehands Local 205 in Austin as a camera operator for live events. When she's not on set, Michelle likes to help run a zine library and work on her own screenplays.
Dillon Buss
is a director and artist creating in Boston at the nexus of filmmaking, drawing and skateboarding. With Collective Feature, a group that he co-founded, he has directed films that won multiple Vimeo awards and garnered hundreds of thousands of views; his personal films have shown internationally. His professional clients include: the Isabella Gardiner Museum, MIT, the ICA and TEDx. As a sponsored skateboarder for Converse, he can often be found in motion-whether in performances at the ICA and the Boston Children's Museum or during downtime on shoots worldwide.
The Fast Forward panel is co-presented by the Film/Video Department, Career Services and Alumni Affairs to create cross-dialogue between current students, alumni and the larger New England media art community.

Scenes from the Life of a Happy Man
The Films of Jonas Mekas
January 20- February 18,2017 at the Harvard Film Archives
I want to celebrate the small forms of cinema, the lyrical forms, the poem, the watercolour, etude, sketch, postcard, arabesque, bagatelle and little 8mm songs. I am standing in the middle of the information highway and laughing, because a butterfly on a little flower somewhere just fluttered its wings, and I know that the whole course of history will drastically change because of that flutter. A super-8 camera just made a little soft buzz somewhere, on New York's Lower East Side, and the world will never be the same." - Jonas Mekas
