Alumnus Ryan Kline '11 Featured for Dallas Mavericks Outreach in China

Ryan Kline '11 is featured in a Dallas Observer article focusing on the Dallas Mavericks outreach in China.The article is titled "Away Game: Inside the Dallas Mavericks' Social Media Pivot To China."
 
In the article, Ryan credits the Greenhill Chinese and film programs for sparking the passions that have translated to his current position.
 
"In seventh grade Kline made the fateful choice to study Mandarin Chinese. “I didn’t have a particular interest in China,” he says, but preferred it to Spanish, French and certainly Latin.
 
A school-organized summer trip to China in 2009 opened his eyes to the difference between book-learning and actual interaction. "My first trip definitely reinforced my passion for the language," he says. "Not so much being in China itself, although that was fascinating. But the ability to converse with people, that was the biggest draw."
 
He also adopted video production as a high school passion, doing hands-on work creating short films in the school's program under the tutelage of teacher Corbin Doyle. Kline also became active in the Dallas film festival scene, producing a trailer for Dallas Video Fest."
