When I graduated from St. Mary's as a theater major, I realized I had received not just a degree, but a true education. The department not only gave me a foundation in the theory and practice of my craft, but most importantly an opportunity to ignite as an artist and to develop a style and interest in challenging theatrical material, which led me on fascinating journeys after I left the school.

A Study in Reds selected to the 2009 National Film RegistryPamela Wintle, senior film archivist for the Human Studies Film Archives, Smithsonian Institution, participated with Patricia Zimmermann in spring 2009's Second Annual TFMS Film Series on the home movie. During their presentation, "Mining the Home Movie," Pam and Patricia screened, in its entirety, amateur filmmaker Miriam Bennett's 1932 women's collective film, A Study in Reds, which spoofs, among other things, the Soviet "menace" of the 1930s. This screening marked the world premiere of Bennett's film. With support from Mark Rhoda, co-organizer of the film series, and his Film History students from spring 2009, Pam nominated A Study in Reds for consideration to the National Film Registry. At the end of December 2009, Pam informed us that A Study in Reds was one of 25 films named to the National Film Registry for 2009 (pdf). Brava!
