Director // Academy of Multimedia & Communications

     Hello students, parents, and colleagues! My name is Devin Levi Cooper and I’m excited about starting my 3rd year with the Madison County Schools family! I am the Director of the Academy of Multimedia & Communications (AMC).

     A bit about me. I was born in Germany (Army brat), my parents moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a bit, then I ended up in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up there. I graduated from Blue Springs High School where my love of video production developed and led me to attend college at Full Sail University in Florida, where I received a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Film Studies. After graduating, I dove into videography which took me around the world as a freelancer for many types of work, including commercials, promos, and travel videos throughout the countries of New Zealand, Thailand, Laos & Europe. I’ve also worked behind the scenes and on-set in feature films, music videos, and documentaries over my 10-plus years in the industry. I am truly passionate about teaching through sharing my life experiences in my career direction in film, which truly shaped me as a person and artist.

     As a film production (multimedia) teacher, I am very excited to bring my experience to Madison County Schools’ Academy of Multimedia & Communications and hopefully inspire your kids as much as I was back in my high school days! In my free time, my hobbies are photography, drawing, board games, watching movies (obviously), cooking and bringing my creative ideas to life. I am a family man also; my wife Mallory, our 2 daughters, Naomi & Magnolia, and our son, Levi. We are happy to be here in Mississippi, and I look forward to meeting you!

Thanks,

Mr. Cooper
