BDIC's 40th Birthday

BDIC began in September, 1970, so it's now the 40th anniversary!

BDIC is celebrating with a year of special activities.

First up is Tom Benedek, who graduated in 1971--the first BDIC graduate.  Tom is a Hollywood screenwriter who has worked with Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Sydney Pollack and other notable directors.  He wrote the screenplays for Cocoon and many other films.

Tom is also a photographer and sculptor.  Take a look at his work at tombenedek.com

Tom's visit is October, 5.  He will be lecturing to BDIC students at 4pm.  Save the date!  The location will be announced later.
