Clark Brandon's passion for the arts has involved him in television, film, and design for over thirty years. Born into a New York theatrical family, it was natural for Clark to start his career as an actor, starring in several television series. He went on to write and direct independent films, including the cult film "Skeeter" for New Line Cinema. His visionary instincts led him to the Internet in the 90's where he designed and programmed innovative and dynamic websites. In addition to his administrative role at Areté, Clark has taught New Media, Film and Society, and Documentary Filmmaking and has helped to create the school's unique arts program.
