We'd like to take a moment to congratulate theatre minor Daniel Chicon-Ramirez and Hunter alumnus Kat Luciano on their short film JULIO: The Julio Irving Story About Julio Irving. This comedy had been selected for five film festivals!
Daniel and Kat met two years ago during the Undergraduate Playwrights Festival. Daniel said "I couldn't imagine this project without her, as we both bring our acting experience and story-telling skills that we learned right in the Baker Building. It's a nice reminder of how theatre can bring people together to collaborate on projects in any medium."
