Michael Phillips-Anderson, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
ArtNOW and the Interactive Digital Media Research lab host local filmmakers Anthony Setaro and Doug Booton. Anthony, a Monmouth University Communication Alum, and his cousin, Doug Booton, present a workshop that dives deep into the creative process of making digital stories based on their families’ history of emigrating from Italy to Red Bank, NJ. Setaro and Booton use cutting-edge 3D software, Unreal Engine (also used in The Mandalorian and The Matrix Awakens), to visually recreate Red Bank and Monmouth County in the early 1900s and tell their family’s story.

The M.A. in Communication program has prepared me to be an effective communication professional. A large part of the work that I do is relationship building and bridging connections between non-profit, government and business organizations, both statewide and nationally. I have learned first-hand the vital role communication plays in collaboration and have found that the success of these programs depends on shared resources and collective support. I have amassed a wealth of invaluable experience through my Monmouth University education which I am able to translate into this important work.
