Did you know there is a Yale professor who appeared in two of this year’s most talked-about films —the 2026 Best Picture, Best Director (6 total Oscars!) One Battle After Another and the Oscar-nominated Marty Supreme?
Join YSFF and Professor Paul Grimstad for a conversation about his unexpected journey from the Yale classroom to the big screen. In this special event, he reflects on how he found himself acting in two of the year’s most talked-about films, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the surprising intersections between his role in academia and acting.
