Most students regard a passing grade as a sufficient reward for hard work in a class. A group of students in Race and Ethnicity in the Cinematic Arts, a general education class at Temple’s School of Theater, Film and Media Arts taught by Professor of Film and Media Arts George Miller, received a grade and a special message of encouragement from actor Kevin Bacon.
“I heard that you made a movie. Let me tell you, I’ve made a lot of movies in my life and it’s not an easy thing to do, especially when you’ve got special effects and action and all that cool stuff. So you should be very very proud of yourselves, and I can’t wait to see it. Good luck!” the Footloose star said in a video message.
