About me, David Cox, your instructor

My name is David Cox and I'll be your instructor for Exploring Game Worlds this Fall 2010 semester at CCSF Mission Campus.

My background is in both motion picture production and videogame production. I live in the Mission area of San Francisco. I make films, write and teach at both CCSF and DeVry University Online.

My background is British/Australian, and I have been a long term visitor to the Bay Area since the early 1990s, when I first met San Francisco film makers at a film festival in Europe.
