CCSU Film Student Wins Jury Award Fighting For Transgender Rights

Unlike traditional lecture classes, film-students not only dream up ideas, they cast, rehearse, costume, explore and produce their thoughts into well-crafted films.

 

This guided work has produced an unprecedented amount of awards, achievements and publications never before seen in our department.

 

For CCSU Film student, Abe Azab,  fighting for transgender rights – a topic he freely chose, was not just an idea, he went on an artistic process to realize his idea.

 

Today, we are so pleased to announce that Abe Azab has won a Jury Award from the Campus Movie Festival – the worlds largest student film festival, sponsored by the Walt Disney Company, Lumix and Goldman Sachs to name a few.
