Maxwell’s Movie Night is a short documentary about a dedicated film professor teaching an asynchronous class who struggles to connect with his students. To humanize the online experience, he hosts weekly virtual movie nights—an unorthodox move in digital teaching—but his invitations are met with silence. Refusing to give up, he experiments with new ways to spark engagement before the semester ends. Blending humor, persistence, and a genuine love of cinema, the film captures one teacher’s creative attempt to bridge the digital gap and bring his class together in an era of online learning.
