J.R. Osborn ’97 recently edited and produced the documentary feature film Glitter Dust: Finding Art in Dubai. It combines animation and video to explore artistic creation in a city that combines artificiality (indoor ski slopes in the desert!) with brutal reality (massive unemployment!).

Osborn taught Visual Communications at American University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; he now teaches media production at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
