In 1989 he and his wife founded Straight Ahead Pictures to produce media (film, video, radio and internet) on American history and culture. He writes scripts for short films and documentaries, including historical documentaries for public television.
Crowley's correspondence with literary critic Harold Bloom, and their mutual appreciation, led in 1993 to Crowley taking up a post at Yale University, where he teaches courses in Utopian fiction, fiction writing, and screenplay writing.
