James Casebere, ’78 Photographer “Constructed photography” is the art-critic term for what James Casebere does. But however you react to his moody, thought-inducing photos, their power is undeniable.	Bill Rude, ’96 Filmmaker “My body of work as a whole is probably unavoidable,” says Bill Rude, who at 6’4” is hard to miss in person. On the big or small screens, however, his behind-the-scenes work really stands out.
Tom Arndt, ’68 Photographer Somewhere between street photography and solemn portraits sits the work of Tom Arndt. He’s drawn to public events, but is more likely to shoot the crowd than the parade.	Stephen Rivkin ’75 Film Editor Rivkin was nominated for an Oscar for editing on James Cameron’s Avatar.
