    excerpt:

    CULLOWHEE — With state-of-the-art equipment and studios and a stable of
    veteran filmmakers on staff, Western Carolina University is set to launch a new
    degree program in motion picture and television production this fall.Chancellor
    John Bardo felt the new major could take advantage of Western North Carolina’s
    creative talent to help spur development of the electronic media industry in
    the region.

    So Jack Sholder, a Hollywood director and screenwriter, was brought in to
    spearhead the initiative, and the UNC Board of Governors recently authorized the
    bachelor of fine arts degree program.
    ...................

    The program taps the talents of Terry Curtis Fox, a Hollywood screenwriter
    whose credits include “Hill Street Blues,” “Diagnosis Murder” and “Stargate
    SG-1
    ” and who now teaches screenwriting at WCU; Padraig Acheson, who heads the
    television production program after 28 years of network experience in New York;
    Bruce Frazier, WCU’s Belk Distinguished Professor of Commercial and
    Electronic Music, who has won Emmy Awards for contributions to TV programs; and Arledge
    Armenaki, a cinematographer with 19 motion picture credits.
