Milt Moise is a scholar and Visiting Professor at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where he teaches film, television, and literature. His doctoral research, which was conducted at the University of Florida, examines the uses of absence in contemporary American bipolar fiction. His Master of Philosophy degree, obtained at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, explores self-referentiality in contemporary Caribbean fiction.
Dr. Moise has presented at numerous regional and international conferences on subjects ranging from visual representations of the West Indian plantation, to the routes of capital in Edgar Mittelholzer’s novel My Bones and My Flute and HBO/Max’s neo noir drama Full Circle. His published work, exploring Caribbean literary consciousness, St. Lucian literary imaginaries, and Rastafari epistemology in HBO/Max’s science fiction series Westworld has appeared in the Journal of the West Indies, Peepal Tress Press, and Palgrave Macmillan respectively.
His current projects include serving as coeditor for a special issue in the Journal of Science Fiction, Film and Television on Apple TV’s science fiction television dramas, and as a producer on a short folk-horror film set in his native St. Lucia titled, Shadow Child.
Dr. Moise has dedicated his life to the teaching of television, literature and film. Inspired by a graduate school class taken at the University of the West Indies on visualizing the Caribbean, he is committed to bringing the vibrancy, complexity, and urgency of the Caribbean experience to the big screen in the capacity of a producer, and to the process of building fruitful collaborations with talented artists from his native St. Lucia, and beyond.
