Dom,

I teach at the Community College of Rhode Island. I get to teach a course we call Film as Lit, but it's really an Intro to Film course. I use Bordwell and Thompson for the textbook. It counts as a lit. elective, so I try to give students a good dose of films they never will get to see outside of a course. I also teach composition and various literature courses. I'm lucky; I have a full-time, tenured position.

I think you should send out resumes to colleges in the area that offer film courses. Many colleges will often need instructors for the basic courses and use adjunct instructors. I would just check the on line course offerings and send out resumes. Also, if they have a film department, I'd call and ask to meet with the chair to discuss teaching possibilities.

At least it would get you out of the house and the casino.
