Hey Free State!
My name is Mr. Kyle Morgison (he/him/his) and I will be your Audio/Video Production teacher! We will do everything from learning the technical aspects of filmmaking, post-production and effects, and create engaging, story-driven short films. The courses are set up for you to learn something new each semester as you progress through the hierarchy, with your later courses being catered to more real-world application (i.e., interviews, spots, daily news, and lengthier productions). It is the goal that each one of you who enter my classroom will find – or build upon – a passion for visual storytelling and will be ready for post-secondary aspirations when you leave Free State.
For those of you who do not know me, I am the head coach of Cross Country at Lawrence High School as well as an assistant for the Track & Field program there. I grew up in Lawrence and attended Central Junior High and Lawrence High School where I participated in XC and Track. I graduated from KU in 2011 with a Bachelor's in Film and Media. Today, I am an active runner and enjoy competing and pushing myself. I love film and photography and cannot think of a better career than teaching and working with the young creators of tomorrow!
