I’ve taught Acting and Film Studies since 2010, in Southern California, NYC, El Paso, TX, and Central Illinois. I currently serve as an Instructional Assistant Professor in Theatre and Film at Illinois State University. My students often cite my courses as being among the most engaging and illuminating of their academic careers.

Professor Beam made the class so fun! And I learned a lot more about film than I ever thought I would. He is truly a great teacher.

Professor Beam is an awesome and amazing professor who truly cares for his students. Everything was very clear and on point. I definitely recommend him. You won’t regret taking his class!!!

Greg Beam is an incredibly intelligent, quick-witted, and understanding instructor with a knack for humor and a laugh that is to die for. His course [keeps] students on their feet and actively involved in the learning process. I loved this class.
