Stephanie Via '05,
Hollins University |
A True Story
Hollins graduate and Roanoke native Stephanie Via’s “True Story” was selected for the Short Film Program at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, which was held January 19-29 in Park City, Utah. The tale of an elderly lady who remembers a tragic childhood moment is one of only 73 short films – dramatic, documentary, and animated - the Festival chose to screen this year from over 4,300 submissions. Forty-two films were American and 31 were international representing 17 countries. |
Via, who attended William Fleming High School in Roanoke, graduated from Hollins in May 2005 with a degree in film and photography.
She is no stranger to success at prestigious film festivals: Last July, “True Story” won first prize at the Aurora Picture Show’s Eighth Anniversary Weekend in Houston, Texas. The film was recently awarded the Barry Sisson Best Narrative at the 2006 Salmagundi Film Festival in Charlottesville, Va.
