Jodie Mack: 25 New Faces of Independent Film

An excerpt from a profile of assistant professor Jodie Mack published by Filmmaker Magazine:

"What does Pink Floyd’s 'Dark Side of the Moon' mean to you?

A faded black T-shirt with that prism logo, and the hazily remembered times you had while wearing it? Or maybe the 'ka-ching' of 'Money' blasting from your dad’s car radio on the way back from the beach. Perhaps your playlists contain not Floyd but remixes and remakes by The Orb or the Flaming Lips. Or just possibly your grandfather who had dementia came to live with you when you were in seventh grade, and you’d play the record every afternoon in your den because that’s where the stereo was, and one day, after your granddad hadn’t said a word for months, he lifted his head and muttered, under his breath, 'this is such very strange music,' and, suddenly realizing that there was someone still in there, your young head exploded with dark forebodings too."
