Student Profile

Matt Rozek

Matt RozekAlthough he enjoyed his experience as a theatre major, Matt Rozek wanted to use his time abroad to broaden his academic experience. “I wanted to get away from theatre for a semester and study film,” he says. At the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, he found the classes he was looking for.

“I took a Japanese film class, and Australian film class, a history documentary class and a class on performance in the independent american cinema,” he says. He found the experience to be a means for personal and academic growth, “in terms of working on my own and seeking out my own readings.”

Although Butler’s program does not focus extensively on film, Matt’s experience didn’t disrupt the progression of his coursework. “All the classes I took transferred by credit to credit,” he says. “Dr. Green is very helpful in making it work and accomodating other classes that might not fit exactly with what the Butler theatre curriculum dictates.”
