Evan Schwenterly

Growing up in Concord/Carlisle I had my first job at the Concord Public Library as the lead page 1997-2001. Since then I have acquired over twenty-five years’ experience managing and executing professional film/video production and post production workflows for feature films, PBS documentaries, and educational web/social content.

I currently assist the Library of Congress in Washington D.C with multimedia preservation and restoration, along with regional documentarians and independent filmmakers.

My aim is to instill a sense of creative and humorous fun in my classroom, such that each student may freely experiment and discover avenues of self-expression using new and visually-exciting tools. I am passionate about providing students of any age with the most engagingly instructive process possible, such that the acquisition of technical skill is matched (if not exceeded) by the sense of fun experienced during the collaborative process.

I also create my own original artwork using frames from severely-damaged 8mm and Super8mm film stock from the 1960s and 1970s, using the chemically or mold-damaged film to generate abstract paintings with complex ethereal textures. Hobbies are fun!
