Matthew McConaughey—A Gentleman and a Scholar

Last year Matthew McConaughey starred in The Gentlemen looking every bit a movie star.

But last year—while making The Gentlemen— he was also Professor of Practice and teaching the class Script to Screen (RTF 367Q along with Scott Rice) at the University of Texas. Here’s a small part of the syllabus for the class held in the spring of ’19.

Here’s an idea for the UT Radio/Film/TV program: Why not create a MasterClass-like production of Matthew McConaughey leading a class and sell it for $99? It’d be a big seller and it would give some students/recent graduates a project to produce.

P.S. In the past week or so I’ve listened to McConaughey read/perform his book Greenlights and at least seven one-hour interviews that he’s done on various podcasts. I wish there was a Matthew McConaughey app that changed all audio books to McConaughey’s Texas drawl.
