As a self-described experimental autobiographic documentary filmmaker, Evan Villari creates small pictures from his own experiences, which contribute to larger societal conversations. His films, shot both digitally and on celluloid, have been shown in group and solo screenings from Boston to Anchorage.
The past 15 years have found him in the classroom teaching a variety of media production, filmmaking and communication courses.
Previously, Villari served on the faculty of Rhode Island School of Design in both the Film/Animation/Video degree program as well as in the Continuing Education Division, where he was the program advisor to the Digital Video Production and Animation + Video Programs. In 2009, while at RISD, he was recognized with a Teacher of Excellence award.
