It is also the movie that first drew him to the study of film. We hope you can join us! Free. Decker Auditorium.

Please forward to anyone who might be interested.

McDaniel College Job Posting: Visiting Professor of Cinema McDaniel College Job Posting: Visiting Professor of Cinema

From the pages of the "Baltimore Sun" on Friday February 2, 2024: We think Richard Brett would be amused by the fact that this tribute appeared in the newspaper on Groundhog Day, a day immortalized, of course, in Harold Ramis's iconic 1993 film.

McDaniel College’s Office of the Provost announced this week that the memorial gathering for beloved Professor of Cinema Richard Brett will be held on Saturday February 24, 2024 at 2pm in Big Baker Memorial Chapel. The sheer volume of condolences and messages of support about his passing are a reminder of how important he was so many of us. We hope you will be able to attend this celebration of his life.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Richard Brett, Professor of Cinema, passed away peacefully at 4am this morning, Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at Carroll Hospital in Westminster, Maryland.

Already an accomplished professor, Richard was recruited away from St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, NC in 2010 to co-create a brand-new Cinema program at McDaniel. He taught 10 courses for the major but was perhaps best known for his Intro to Cinema class which engaged and energized hundreds of students over the years and drew many of them into the field. He also taught two very popular film analysis courses that were almost always waitlisted – one on Alfred Hitchcock and another in Science Fiction – and his junior level Scriptwriting class was more rigorous than anything you would find in a graduate film program.

During his time at McDaniel, Richard wrote five feature-length screenplays, most of which won industry awards or were optioned by production companies. During his Fall 2023 sabbatical, he was working to complete his second horror novel.

But his life was genuinely full of things that cannot be found on a vita – the countless hours he shared in his office and elsewhere with students and colleagues just talking about movies, his love of painting, podcasts, and vintage stereoscopic images. His commitment to completing 10,000 steps a day made him a common sight around campus and in the Westminster community.

He was a cineaste, but not a cinema snob. He was accessible, curious, and kind, never at a loss for a relevant movie quote. His classes were a rare mix of high expectations, an encyclopedic knowledge of film, good humor, and laughter. And as any of his students can tell you, Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” was his all-time favorite movie. It’s the one that compelled him to study cinema in the first place.

His passing leaves a great hole in all of us who knew him and how much he loved cinema.

Richard, of course, would immediately be able to offer a relevant line of movie dialogue to perfectly summarize the of spirit of this moment.

In his absence we can only say:

His Rosebud was you.

More information, including how we may all honor Richard’s life, will be forthcoming.
