Mr. Boros is a teacher in the Media Arts Pathway. He teaches Video Studio Fundamentals, Studio Directing & Performance, and Advanced Studio Production.
Boros’ love of film goes back a long way. As a child he was fascinated by the films of Jacque Cousteau, a French filmmaker who documented life under the sea in ways that revolutionized diving and recording technology. As he grew up, he became more interested in analyzing themes and characters due to films like Pulp Fiction and Memento.
“I got really into the different directors,” Boros says. “That really interested me a lot more than actors, for sure.”
Before teaching, Boros worked for local news station WDRB, then worked on live sports with various networks. He says he gained an interest in teaching while he was working for the Louisville Bats (who at the time were called the Red Birds).
“They would give me a group of interns. I think I had four or five every year, and then, so part of my job was actually to teach them how to operate a bunch of cameras, and how to get the video that I needed for the job. I just kinda started teaching people this stuff by accident,” Boros says.
“I enjoyed that I was able to teach them something that I could see what they learned…I thought maybe that’s something I would enjoy.”
Boros did his student teaching at Seneca with Mr. Cooksey, who now teaches Film Studies at Atherton. Boros then taught at Fern Creek for 17 years, then joined the Atherton family in fall of 2019.
Since Boros arrived at Atherton, the Media Arts pathway has made great advancements, particularly in the development and distribution of Atherton on Air, the daily school news program. He oversees production as student teams write, record, and edit each episode before uploading it to the AOA YouTube channel.
