The researchers the proposal targets — ma-profiling ceremony, 2026-08-15
Grounding: Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema – Faculty Research Fields.md (this vessel),
the peer vessel ep300-seven-fields-research-alignment-renaud-260815… (same shelf), and
issues jgwill/Miadi#611–614. This document is the ceremony's own statement of who — the
alignment mechanics live in the peer vessel and are not repeated here.
Primary
| who | stream | the fit |
|---|---|---|
| Jean-Claude Bustros | Film Production | Generative storytelling, responsive environments, intelligent images, hypercinema — the agent-supported pipeline is that research, running. Film Production is the supervisor-shaped department (Renaud's hard requirement: principal supervisor full-time in that department). |
| Luigi Allemano | Film Animation | Visual music, film scores, sound-image relationships through improvisatory and aleatoric practice — a film whose narrative carries its own music is his field from the other side. |
| Erin Manning | FMIS / Studio Arts | Research-creation, process philosophy, relational and embodied making — where the relational-accountability claim gets tested rather than asserted. Academic kin to the Wilson-modeled work in jgwill/medicine-wheel-guillaume. |
| Nicolas Renaud | FMIS | Indigenous methodologies + experimental audiovisual. The correspondent. Committee door open (« je laisse la porte ouverte »); offered « je vais faire le lien » to chair Martin Lefebvre. |
Second circle
Alisi Telengut (under-camera experimental animation, more-than-human/environmental — kin to the wheel's land/spirit nodes) · May Chew (interactivity, immersion) · Louise Lamarre (Holo Editorial Layering, multi-platform post) · Daniel Cross (documentary ethics and collaboration).
The warning that shapes the letter
Software architecture has no faculty home at Mel Hoppenheim — Steinberg's Platform Lab and Neves' lab study platforms; nobody builds them. The film leads; the platform arrives as generative storytelling and visual music, someone's actual research.

G1 ep300 consent.md (render) · G2 consent to quote Renaud · G3 public sound on
guillaume.tushell.com · G4's second half: whether the inquiry issue lands in
miadisabelle/Etuaptmumk-RSM (the episode half of G4 was answered — this vessel is it).
