OU’s Undergraduate Student congress will gauge stu-dent interest in adopting an affirmative consent poli-cy after California lawmakers recently passed similar legislation.
Earlier this year, California passed a statewide law re-quiring all its colleges and universities to adopt affirma-tive consent policies: policies that require “affirmative, conscious and voluntary” agreement from all parties be-fore engaging in sexual activity, according to the bill’s text.
Affirmative consent policies are often referred to as “yes-means-yes” policies, while policies like OU’s are “no-means-no” policies. As OU’s sexual misconduct, discrimi-nation and harassment policy defines consent, “‘no’ must always mean ‘no,’ and the absence of ‘no’ does not mean yes.”
With reported cases of sexual assault on the rise over the last few years —both at OU and nationwide — Daniel Pae, Undergraduate Student Congress academic affairs chair-person, said OU should consider adopting an affirmative consent policy.
Affirmative consent policy consideredLEGISLATION
Student congress to gauge student interest in changing sexual misconduct policy
Pae said he would like to survey the student body to gauge support for that kind of policy change and, depend-ing on the results, work with OU administration to see if they’re open to a policy change.
Because the policy could broadly impact OU, Pae, a po-litical science and economics sophomore, said he wants to see what issues students might disagree on in relation to an affirmative consent policy.
“We’d mostly want to know: do you support a change from ‘no-means-no’ to ‘yes-means-yes’ in the university policy, and I think that’d be the main question,” Pae said.

Kunal Naik to become SGA president and Alex Byron to be vice president

Kunal Naik and Alex Byron have been elected as the president and vice president of Student Government Association after running uncontested.
During his first days in office, Naik said he wants to focus on learning about what his predecessor, Matt Epting, did for OU, making sure those policies and pro-grams are sustainable and combining them with his own innovative policies.
“I’m really proud of the work that me and Alex and our team did and I’m really excited to get started,” Naik said.
About 5.3 percent of the student population voted in this year’s presidential elections, an improvement from last spring’s uncontested election’s 2 percent voter turn out, said Taylor Petersen, election board chairperson.
Petersen said he is happy with the turnout because of the improvement and because uncontested races gener-ally don’t have high numbers.

The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art currently has 40 piec-es of art with Nazi provenance, according to the Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal and confirmed in a statement from OU officials in an email from OU press secretary Corbin Wallace.
The Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal is a searchable database of items in U.S. museums that could have ties to Nazi Germany during the times when Nazis were looting art from occupied countries. The Nazi era is typically consid-ered between 1933 and 1945, when World War II ended.
To be added to the registry, a piece must have been cre-ated before 1946 and acquired by the museum after 1932, changed owners between 1932 and 1946 and it must have been in continental Europe during those years, according to the database’s website.
The database stores information from 175 self-reporting museums. The database is a registry of 29,031 individual items with Nazi provenance.
The piece involved in the lawsuit is a painting by French impressionist Camille Pissarro, “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep (La bergère rentrant des moutons).” Leone Meyer filed suit against OU in May 2013 to reclaim the painting, which was stolen from her family by Nazis occupation forc-es and the Vichy Regime in Nazi-occupied France sometime
between 1940 and 1944.“Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep” was donated to the
Fred Jones museum by Aaron and Clara Weitzenhoffer in 2000. Aaron and Clara Weirzenhoffer are the parents of OU Regent Max Weitzenhoffer. The Weitzenhoffer College of Fine Arts is named after the family, which has been a long-time university donor.
Some of the items with Nazi provenance in the muse-um include “Portrait of Alexander Reid” by Vincent van Gogh, “Riverbank at Lavacourt (La Berge à Lavacourt)” by Claude Monet and three other pieces by Pissarro: “Nude with Swans,” a lithograph of “Nude with Swans” and “The Meadow at Eragny (Le Pré à Eragny),” according to the data-base. All of those pieces were donated by the Weitzenhoffers.
The statement said many pieces in the museum’s collec-tions are gifts to the museum, and all pieces reported on the database were gifts.
Nazi-era provenance and museumsBecause of the breadth of art looting during the Nazi era,
it is fairly common for museums to have some pieces of art in their collections with some Nazi provenance, said Dewey Blanton, American Alliance of Museums strategic commu-nications director.
The looting, which confused the provenance of many pieces of art by switching hands so many times, and the economic boom for the U.S. following World War II are two factors that contribute to the prevalence of art with Nazi-era
provenance in American museums, Blanton said.During the economic boom, many wealthy Americans
began collecting art, which was now available in large quan-tities after the war.
OU’s statements echoed Blanton’s, but it added that be-fore the mid-’70s record keeping was inconsistent for the pieces that flowed into the U.S. after World War II, meaning many of the wealthy Americans who bought these suspect artworks were unclear of the art’s origins.
In many cases, like in the case with “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep,” the piece’s new owners died and the works were donated to museums like Fred Jones Jr., Blanton said.
The portal was created for just that reason, Blanton said.The portal serves a two-fold purpose: to help museums
that may have art with Nazi-era provenance and to help heirs find pieces looted from their families.
“It’s not easy work. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of in-vestigative work that goes into this,” Blanton said.
When asked how OU specifically deals with art after find-ing it has Nazi-era provenance, the statement said the mu-seum uses donor-completed and provided provenance re-search. If museum officials find it necessary, they will con-duct additional provenance research.
The statement said that museum officials are unaware of any pieces of art “that have established ownership other than in the university or the OU Foundation.”
Meyer’s lawsuitMeyer’s suit against the university prompted criticism
from community members and lawmaker Mike Reynolds, who warned of future lawsuits regarding the different pieces of Nazi-era provenance art housed at Fred Jones Jr.

After OU was sued for housing a piece of art that was looted by Nazis during World War II, The Daily discovered that the university’s museum currently
has 40 pieces of art with Nazi connections.

With Veteran’s Day less than a week away, tonight students can watch a doc-umentary that honors U.S. veterans and hear from a woman who helped create it.
G a y l o r d C o l l e g e w i l l be holding a screening of the award-winning doc-umentary “Veteran’s Day 11.11.11” at 6:30 p.m. in Gaylord Hall’s Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation Auditorium, according to a press release.
S u z a n n e P o p o v i c h Chandler, broadcast and electronic media profes-sor, was part of the group of photographers and vid-eographers who worked on the film, according to the press release. Only 15 of 40 stories were selected for the final documentary, and Popovich Chandler’s was among them, according to the press release.
The film follows various veterans through one day and illustrates what it’s like to be a veteran, according to the press release.
“It is an exploration of his-tory from Civil War to pres-ent day conflicts through the eyes of people who lived it,” Popovich Chandler said.
The film features 15 pro-files, which are woven to-gether by a panel of five vet-erans who discuss common themes, Popovich Chandler

A screenshot from the film “Veteran’s Day 11.11.11” displays a soldier hoisting a U.S. flag. The documen-tary will be shown at 6:30 p.m. tonight in Gaylord Hall’s Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation Auditorium.
said.Veterans narrate the en-
tire documentary in their own words with no ad-ditional script, Popovich Chandler said.
This style of documenta-ry is compelling because it allows the audience to feel close to the people in the film, and it shows that ef-fective storytelling doesn’t have to be over-produced, Popovich Chandler said.
The contributors of the film used their own equip-ment and often paid their own travel expenses to capture veterans’ stories, though their work was not guaranteed a spot in the film, according to the press
release.“ W h e n a n a u d i e n c e
l e a r n s [ Ve t e ra n ’s Day ] 11.11.11 was made totally by volunteers to honor our servicemen and women by a collection [of ] award win-ning storytellers, my hopes are that the film inspires students interested in film-making and multimedia journalism to develop their storytelling skills, go out into their lives and com-munities and share sto-ries students care about,” Popovich Chandler said in an email.
Popovich Chandler said she hopes students who attend the screening can have an impact on others
by telling stories that mean a lot to them, Popovich Chandler said.
At past screenings, veter-ans have thanked Popovich Chandler for her work, often with hugs and tears, she said.
“When students study the craft of visual story-telling, use technology at their fingertips and com-bine their vision with their hearts, students can and do make a difference in other p e o p l e’s l i v e s t h rou g h media,” Popovich Chandler said in an email.

LANE CLOSURE
Farmer street to become one-way to prepare to convert to green space
Traffic will be reduced to one lane on Jenkins and Lincoln Avenues between Lindsey and Stinson Streets Friday.
The changes in traffic are to prepare for the perma-nent closure, including parking, of the stretch of Farmer Street between Jenkins and Lincoln Avenues just south of Headington Hall, according to a university press release.
The section of Farmer Street that will be closed Friday will be converted to green space, according to the press release.

SGA: Turnout for student elections increasedContinued from page 1
Though his original goal for the election was 10 percent voter turnout, Petersen said as long as the numbers im-prove, he’s happy with the results.
Interfraternity Council voter turnout was reported at 36.35 percent of the voting population, but the results from the IFC race were not available before press time.
The following districts were uncontested and were left off the ballot, and the candidates were elected without a vote:
● Architecture District, 1 seat: Carl Berry, architecture senior● Arts District, 1 seat : Ryan Echols, drama junior ● Business District, 6 seats: Eihab Khan, energy manage-ment sophomore; Conor Park, energy management soph-omore; Kendall Riley, energy management & finance junior ● Humanities District, 4 seats: Luis Molina, letters senior; Benjamin Bevilacqua, history sophomore; Timothy Crisp, letters sophomore; Alexandra Owens, classics sophomore ● International Studies District, 2 seats: Matthew Cramm, international studies junior● Languages District, 1 seat: Alissa Rice, political science and French senior● Life Sciences District, 4 seats: Ryan Nigh, biology sopho-more; Bryce Naberhaus, microbiology senior; Travis Alford, biology sophomore● Physical Sciences District, 2 seats: Emily Sample, chemi-cal biosciences junior● Engineering District, 2 seats: Anna Marie Rowell, chemi-cal engineering sophomore; Hawi Burka Kebede, chemical engineering freshman
The congressional candidate results for the Social Sciences District, University College District, Earth and Energy District and Academic Affairs District were not available before press time due to issues with the University College district of congress, Petersen said.
Naik and Byron will have their inauguration Nov. 19, and the congress members will be sworn in Nov. 11, when a new term of congress will begin, said Lauren Aragon, Undergraduate Student Congress chairperson.

Pae said that affirmative consent supporters believe the policies are more declarative and distinguish more clearly between consent and non-consent, while critics say the poli-cy change would put more blame on the accused in the event of sexual assault.
Should the student body choose to adopt an affirmative consent policy, the Student Congress and the Graduate Student Senate would work together to write a concurring resolution to present to the administration, Pae said.
In the meantime, however, Pae said he wants to hear from students and organizations about their stance on OU adopting an affirmative consent policy — “They can also be co-sponsors on the resolution, if they wish,” he said.
While it’s uncertain whether affirmative consent policies like California’s would be welcomed at OU, Pae said that because they affect students’ safety, they are important to consider.
“A university should be a safe and encouraging environ-ment for all students, and they shouldn’t feel threatened or be threatened by anyone,” Pae said. “Any possible remedy to make our campus safer and better for every student should be strongly considered.”

Since then, Emily Neff, former museum director, re-signed on Oct. 15 after serving in the position since January 2014. OU President David Boren said her resig-nation is not linked to the lawsuit.
Following Neff’s resignation, Reynolds sent a letter to the American Alliance of Museums, formally known as the American Association of Museums, requesting an in-vestigation into Fred Jones Jr. because of potential viola-tions to the association’s ethics and standards code.
Reynolds also sent a letter to Boren asking him to clarify the circumstances surrounding Neff’s resignation, which came a day after Reynolds had asked the university to clarify its position involving the painting.
In May, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed Meyer’s suit with the university for lack of personal jurisdiction, since the case involved peo-ple living in Oklahoma, not New York where the case was based, according to provided court documents.

Our View: We urge all OU students to take their voting rights seriously and encourage out-of-state students to register to vote in Oklahoma.
Tuesday’s midterm elections may be over, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop thinking about politics. In fact, voter turnout in Oklahoma was so depressingly low that we feel compelled to clarify voter registration options to our fel-low students so they might partici-pate in future elections.
Only 41.6 percent of registered Cleveland County voters cast ballots in Tuesday’s elections. Less than half of the regis-tered voters in our county cared enough to actually make their voice count. We’ve heard outrage from Oklahomans both around campus and on social media about the outcomes of the midterm elections. Instead of lamenting four more years of Gov. Mary Fallin, turn your unhappiness with the election into positive action for the future.
Voters ages 18 to 29 made up only 13 percent of the national electorate on Tuesday. We understand mid-term elections might not have the glamour and hype of presidential elections, but they are still critical in determining the nation’s leadership. Republicans dominated Oklahoma and the midterm elections in general, yet young voters chose Democratic candi-dates by a 13-point margin or 55 to 42 percent. Voters under 30 did not make their voices heard Tuesday, and the resulting sea of red proves it.
We encourage all Sooners to vote, and we also
an Oklahoma voter registration form and send it to the State Election Board at least 24 days prior to an election.
After you register to vote in Oklahoma, it’s critical to research and select candidates you truly believe in, don’t just vote straight-party or vote for candi-dates because your parents or friends are voting for them.
Voting is a right and a privilege — a privilege that deserves critical attention and care. We call on OU students to register to vote in Oklahoma, the state where they will generally live for at least four years. If more OU students — whom we know are smart and capable young citizens — get involved in Oklahoma politics, it might be just the force necessary to elect candidates that represent our demographic.
Comment online at OUDaily.com
urge out-of-state students to change their voter reg-istration to vote in Oklahoma. There is a lot of confu-sion among college students who leave their home states for school about where and how they can vote. We believe confusing and complicated voter regis-tration laws hinder young voters, especially college students.
Students can register to vote in Oklahoma while maintaining residency in their home state. Transferring your voter registration to Oklahoma will not qualify you for in-state tuition and it will not require you to change your driver’s license or car title. Registering to vote in Oklahoma simply means you live in Oklahoma and want to vote where you
live. We believe it’s more valuable to change your reg-
istration to vote in the state where your college is located than to rely on remembering to request and fill out absentee ballots. Even if you’re not from Oklahoma, if you’re an OU student you will likely spend nine months out of the year or longer in Oklahoma, so Oklahoma politics will directly affect you. Sooners are also like-ly to be better informed about the happenings in Oklahoma than in their home states during their time in college.
We encourage students to establish voter resi-dency in Oklahoma, and the process isn’t as tricky as it might seem. Students simply need to fill out

Sooners fight to save season
JACKIE EBY/THE DAILY
Trevor Knight hands the ball to Samaje Perine during this year’s game against the Kansas Wildcats. The Sooners lost 31-30.
CARSON WILLIAMSAssistant Sports Editor @carsonwilliams4
All Bryce Petty could say after Baylor’s win last week was that the Bears were “ready for OU.”
The senior quarterback will get his second career look at Oklahoma when Baylor rolls into Norman, looking to take down the Sooners at home for the first time in school history.
OU holds a 21-2 overall re-cord against the Bears, with the two losses coming from the last two matchups in Waco, Texas.
Last year, the Bears — in their new gold chrome h e l m e t s — d i s m a n t l e d Oklahoma 41-12 led by Petty’s f ive total touch-downs. Sooner sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight knows what’s at stake on Saturday.
“There’s a lot that goes into this weekend, espe-cially with last year’s game,” Knight said. “It’s kind of that revenge state. And we’re at home. We like to win ball
games at home.”Petty will lead a high-pow-
ered Baylor offense, one that leads the nation in yards per game, looking for a big road win.
One weapon for the Bears is freshman wide receiver K.D. Cannon. The Texas na-tive has racked up 714 re-ceiving yards and six touch-downs on the year.
The Bears also have a solid running back in Shock Linwood, who has amassed 777 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
With those three weap-ons and two other players named to the Preseason All-Big 12 offensive team, the Bears have the league’s second best scoring offense. Containing those weapons comes down to fundamen-tals, according to defensive coordinator Mike Stoops.
“You’ve got to tackle in space, and that’s the hard part,” Stoops said. “People say, ‘Well you’ve got to tack-le better.’ Well, there’s a lot of space out there and that’s why if you do get out of po-sition they can hurt you and make you pay for it.”
On the other side of the ball, things aren’t exactly the same. Baylor comes in at No. 3 in the conference
in scoring defense, allowing 29.6 points per game.
Linebacker Bryce Hager anchors the Baylor de-fense, hoping to contain an Oklahoma offense that racked up 751 total yards last week.
As for the Sooners, they were finally able to let loose last week in their 59-14 rout of Iowa State.
Knight broke free from the chains that were holding him back in the run game. That part of Knight’s game will be crucial in the out-come of Saturday’s contest.
However, that task will be much tougher against the Bears, as they rank second in the Big 12 in rushing defense with 121.2 yards allowed per game. Oklahoma expects to get sophomore running back Keith Ford back this week after missing the past five games with a leg injury.
“He was close Saturday,” coach Bob Stoops said. “When you’ve got to make those sudden cuts and all, if they’re not at 100 percent it’s not going to work. So we didn’t feel he was 100 percent.”
Co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said Ford has looked better in practice this week and will see how he
Win or loss against Baylor will help team determine its destiny
feels as Saturday creeps closer. Oklahoma also expects junior wide re-ceiver Sterling Shepard to be back after injuring his groin on the first play in the win against Iowa State.
A win would be huge for the Sooners, putting them right back in the race for the Big 12. However, a loss would only add on to what a disappointing season it has been.
“It’s going to be very big for us, because right now we determine our own destiny,” defensive end Charles Tapper said. “So going out there, beat-ing Baylor and just win-ning from now on just really could contribute to us winning the Big 12 because you never know how it’s going to finish out right now.”
The Sooners have un-derachieved this season after receiving high ex-pectations following the Sugar Bowl win. A win against Baylor would be the statement of the sea-son and a resurgence in confidence.

THURSDAY, November 6, 2014
Make the most of what you have to offer. Take a leadership position and make a leap of faith to move forward with your plans. Being timid or wait-ing for someone else to show you the way will impede your progress. Be bold and make a difference.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Donʼt invite interference into your life by sharing personal information. You are likely to set yourself up for a fall if someone objects to your plans. Be discreet and mindful.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your best option is to listen and learn. Avoid making promises that you canʼt keep. Spend time doing something you love in order to ease your stress and rejuvenate.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Minor ailments will get worse if you donʼt take better care of your health. Good nutrition, exercise and rest will help fi ght pending problems. Adjust your schedule to include downtime.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Pick your battles wisely. If you receive un-solicited advice from a well-meaning individual, listen carefully but do not retort with a comment youʼll live to regret.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Donʼt make any commitments in writing without obtaining legal advice. Joint fi nancial ventures or business col-laborations will not have the outcome you desire.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Donʼt crowd the people in your life. Being considerate of others will make a
huge difference in the way you are treated. Donʼt meddle unless you want to be avoided.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Negative repercussions will occur if you are too vocal about work-related matters. Keep your opinions to yourself and take care of your responsibilities to avoid criticism.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Good fortune surrounds you. Go ahead with the changes that youʼve been considering. Your positive attitude will pay off. Romance is in the stars, and socializing will lead to interest-ing encounters.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Life wonʼt be as idyllic as you wish. Do your best to ride out the storm by retreat-ing to a quiet place where you can refl ect on whatʼs happening. Better times lie ahead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Maintain discipline and keep a level head, re-gardless of what is going on around you. Donʼt allow a minor dispute to jeopardize your position, reputation, status or future prospects.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Keep your mind on your tasks. Day-dreaming or trying to do too much at once will result in an unfortunate mishap. It will do you good to recon-nect with an old friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone in your life will feel left out if your schedule becomes too hectic. Plan something special that will perk you up and inspire you to contribute to the relationship. Instructions:

running, “The Newsroom” returns to HBO with fire-works this weekend. And our eyes are on you, Will McAvoy.
For the past two seasons, “The Newsroom” has cap-tured viewers with its explo-ration of journalistic integri-ty, while simultaneously at-tacking modern politics and broadcast standards — oh, and it has also managed to sprinkle in some romance along the way.
Judging by the promo-tional videos for season three, the stakes will be higher, and the characters will be pushed even further.
Season one defined the series and created an intel-lectual atmosphere where important discussions

HBO’s “The Newsroom” returns for third and final season

could exist and a concrete foundation that allowed the brilliance of Aaron Sorkin, creator and writer, to shine.
Sorkin’s credits — “A Few Good Men,” “The Social Network” and “The West Wing,” to name a few — speak for themselves. His ability to create a success-ful dialogue that could be successful, without visual elements, is breathtak-ing. He truly is a master of one-liners.
Season one begins with journalism being used recklessly, wreaking havoc wherever it may go. The characters of “The Newsroom” step out of the storm and decide to work for the people, not the station. As they stum-ble through controversy and learn things along the way, they decide the news is concrete and should be presented without bias. And most importantly, they conclude that ratings do not drive news. The show works to “reclaim journalism as an honorable profession.”
It has discussed gay mar-riage, political problems, military problems, econom-ic problems and real-life
events from US history.Similarly, season two
maintained the same voice and tone, but it also at-tacked journalistic ethics on a new level. The entire season was anchored by a lawsuit involving the news station distributing a fic-tional story.
The magnitude of the lawsuit is interesting enough, but perhaps the most important aspect of the situation is the fallout: Credibility defines a station. Without it, the station loses its audience.
But our favorite station bounces back and fights to reclaim its credibility as the season ends, leading into season three.
The third season is going to focus on the importance of sources and their rela-tionship with a reporters. And, of course, the lengths it takes to build back a rep-utation that was utterly destroyed.
The third and final season of the show will premiere 9 p.m. Sunday, on HBO.

Todd Greenlee shoots footage for his upcoming film “Trumbo.” The movie will star Bryan Cranston and is expected to be released in 2015.
FILM
Kevin Hart comedy, “Get Hard,” and a current production, “Trumbo.”
The film will explore the career of Dalton Trumbo, a Hollywood screenwriter with a successful history that even-tually comes to a screeching halt when he is blacklisted for being a communist.
Bryan Cranston [Breaking Bad] will star as Trumbo, acting alongside a star-studded cast cincluding Elle Fanning, Diane Lane, John Goodman and more. The film is expected to be release in 2015.
“I am very, very happy with where I am right now,” Greenlee said. “I have been able to work with some incred-ible artists.”
But the idea of snagging a job in the film industry is noth-ing short of daunting considering the lack of stability within that particular job market. Networking and being in the right place at the right time, seem to be the best routes to find a
place in the field.“Filmmaking is tricky in that you are constantly looking for
jobs since you are technically freelance. The thing to do is to find a group of people that you click with and love being around,” Greenlee said. “When those people get jobs, they usually help you get jobs.”
Though the twins have moved from Oklahoma in pursuit of their dream jobs, Greenlee said they hope to return to the state to film their first feature film.
“Alex and I still have some very big dreams. We want to eventually make our own movies,” Greenlee said. “We made countless short films, but we hope to make our first feature film in Oklahoma within the next few years.“
Being a recent graduate and having success under his belt already, reaching bigger goals will seem effortless from the outside looking in. But even so, there are challenges with every career field Greenlee said the film industry can take away hours of sleep, but reward a passionate person with ac-complished goals and the drive to set new ones.
“Filmmaking is fun but it is a very brutal business. Even though the hours are tough, I love every moment of it,” Greenlee said.

Some college grads take baby steps toward their dream jobs, and others chase right after it. Todd Greenlee chose the latter, chasing his filmmaking
passion to the deep south.Andrew Horton, professor of film and media studies, had
Greenlee as a student in several electronic media classes. It was through a teacher-student bond that Horton got to know Greenlee as an aspiring filmmaker.
With Horton’s extensive background in screenwriting, he served as the perfect source for Greenlee and all his inquiries about the movie making industry.
“Everyone knows they don’t make movies in Hollywood anymore,” Horton said. “They make them in New Orleans.”
And that’s just where Greenlee’s career led him, shortly after graduating from OU last year with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast and electronic media.
Greenlee said he has been interested in film for as long as he can remember, and his passions weren’t harnessed alone. Along with his twin brother, Alex, Greenlee found they both loved to tell stories. Drawing inspiration from Charlie Chaplin movies, filmmaking became the twins’ perfect out-let for storytelling.
“We both just fell into it at the same time, it probably has to do with us being twins. I have absolutely no idea where it specifically started,” Greenlee said. “We made our first short film with a screenplay when we were about 14.”
Since he found his unfading love for filmmaking at such a young age, Greenlee said there was never room for any other career choices. With unwavering support from everyone around, there was nothing standing in Greenlee’s way.
“I always knew that filmmaking was going to be what I wanted to do so I did everything I could to end up there,” Greenlee said. “People who know my brother and I have al-ways been very supportive with us wanting to pursue film-making. I think they can see the passion in our work.”
Both Todd and his brother left Oklahoma to pursue ca-reers in the filmmaking industry. Although Todd headed to New Orleans while Alex moved to Los Angeles, both now work as production assistants, working behind the scenes with film projects.
Since Greenlee has been living in New Orleans, he has worked on two feature films, including a Will Ferrell and
