“I remind my students of things they already know and open myself up to learn from them and then express it back,” Schwartz said. Schwartz adds that he aims to cultivate a classroom environment that encourages full creativity without bounds and a keen appreciation for the First Amendment. “People don’t realize what an extraordinary village this is.” “Our support of independent student voices, the small class sizes and sense of closeness that evolves between faculty and students in their working relationships really fits in with the mission,” Schwartz said. “As a professor, I feel that if I can open a student up to confidently express themselves creatively and honestly, then I’ve done my job,” Schwartz said.Īrriving on the bluff in 2000, Schwartz began his career in the classroom with an already impressive industry track record, having worked as a screenwriter for horror auteur Roger Corman, a production assistant for legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and as a story and development executive, helping bring such film classics as “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride” to the screen.īut Schwartz calls his decision to begin teaching at LMU the best career move he’s ever made, and says that the nationally-ranked School of Film and Television stands out from the pack.
