 Chriss Williams, J.D., M.F.A.           Teaching      Films       Law    Film Professor & Attorney at Law              

Before joining William Paterson University, I taught film at New York University, Boston University, and Columbia College Chicago, all ranked among The Hollywood Reporter's Top 25 Film Schools in the U.S. for 2026.

My teaching philosophy empowers students to develop their voice and vision. 

My job is to hear them, ask the right questions, and push them to find answers. Their answers-
in Their Voice.

 
And then get the hell outta the way!
