After completion of high school, I went into the Coast Guard for two years. The GI Bill enabled me to study painting at various schools and to study film at CUNY, but it wasn\u0027t until I began studying painting with Hans Hofmann, 1956-57, that I felt that I was studying with someone who had something to teach. I created/directed The Millennium Film Workshop, NYC in 1966-68; I started the Dept. of Cinema at SUNY at Binghamton, 1969; I became Professor of Cinema 1974-2000 and Distinguished Prof. of Cinema 2000; and Distinguished Prof. of Cinema Emeritus, 2002.
