Description
Overview: The Emerging Artist-in-Residence (EA) position at Lipscomb University is a one-year contract role designed to support the film department as it supports the production of Dead Sea Squirrels Season 2 while also recognizing an emerging talent in the creative arts. The EA serves as both a creative contributor and a mentor, working alongside students and faculty to enhance the learning environment and the department's creative output. In his role as the creator of DSS Mike Nawrocki has been able to secure a major distribution deal and get the production of a season 2 approved. He has generously decided to let the CEA and its theatre, film and animation departments participate in the production by allowing students to create parts of each episode. While this is a tremendous opportunity there is a time commitment that Mike must make to deliver this show to the marketplace and this will inhibit his ability to do a few things this year. So, he has generously agreed to fund this EA position through the DSS season 2 production budget. This role blends instruction, mentorship, production support, and creative collaboration across multiple initiatives, making it ideal for a developing professional eager to engage with a vibrant academic and artistic community.
