His name is as famous as his legendary films. Known as 'Hitch' by his friends and colleagues, he could tap into his audience’s deepest anxieties, phobias, and fears. Brilliant yet neurotic, witty yet droll, he was a showman in every sense of the word. You’ll hear about his life and career, enjoy some trailers and clips, interact with some trivia questions, and then be off to have – as he would famously say in his TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents – a “good evening.”

A public high school English and Film teacher, Frank has spoken on a wide variety of film-related topics throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut for ten years. In addition to co-hosting the award-winning movie show Reel Life for local cable TV for eight years and making guest appearances on other local programs, he hosts the podcast Silver Screeners and co-hosts Movies Across the Pod.
