Screening and Q & A with Steve Young (Star) and Dava Whisenant (Director, Producer)

We begin this year’s VSRI theme, which includes several talks, a graduate seminar, and an upper-division undergraduate course taught by our Mellon post-doc with a screening of an award winning film which delves into the “industrial” musical – a world of internal marketing in corporate culture and a fascinating window on the relation between research and obsession, followed by a conversation with the film’s Producer-Director Dava Whisenant and its “star,” Letterman writer Steve Young.
