We are thrilled to share that Will LaCalle’s (MFA ’21) film festival debut led to his first Best Documentary Shorts win at the Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival!  LaCalle’s MFA thesis film, Andrew After Angola, was praised by the judges as a “powerful presentation of the ability of human beings to make amends for harm done, work towards redemption, and maybe show that we all can be more than the worst thing we have done, with due acknowledgement of the damage to and the suffering of the victims of those harms.”

The film will screen next at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival and the Prison City Film Festival. Congratulations, Will!
