It might be spring break at Ohio University, but our students see it as the perfect time for filming! Take a peek behind the scenes of "Epilogue", directed by 2nd Year SOF MFA student Sina Mahdavi, a short dramatic film that follows a down on his luck actor attempting to stage a comeback in order to connect with his daughter. Bravo on wrapping, cast and crew!
