Los Angeles : Oscar-winning Matthew McConaughey will teach a course on filmmaking with Gary Ross, who directed him in his recently released movie “Free State of Jones”, at the University of Texas.

McConaughey will take 30 students behind the scenes of “Free State of Jones”, through recorded studios, reports aceshowbiz.com.

He is expected to make at least one visit to campus for the class.

“By studying the movie’s source material, script, shot lists, storyboards, shooting schedules, VFX, final cut and even exclusive behind the scenes footage, students will garner insight into the production of a major Hollywood feature,” reads the course description.
