Western Washington University Associate Professor of Industrial Design Jason Morris is currently working on a feature-length biographical historical documentary film about prolific industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague.

Teague was a pioneer in the field, and designed many of the products and places that defined modern America: Kodak cameras, the Boeing Stratocruiser aircraft, Steinway pianos, Sparton radios, Texaco service stations, Stueben glassware, the Marmon 16 automobile, and the 1939 World’s Fair.

Two short films by Western Washington University Associate Professor of Industrial Design Jason Morris will be shown at the Northwest Projections Film Festival occurring Friday through Sunday, April 16-18, at the Pickford Cinema in Bellingham.

One of Morris’ films, “Form Function,” shows how the industrial design creative process starts with an abstract sculpture and ends with a functional object. The film features the Western Washington University Industrial Design class of 2010.
