Film BFA alum Julian Maldonado was featured on the CBS affiliate station Telemundo Wisconsin. Maldonado was invited to talk about his short documentary, “Maderas y Memorias,” which tells the story of his great grandfather, a renowned wood carver from Puerto Rico.
“He was my great grandpa from Puerto Rico that I never know,” said Maldonado, “He was kind of alluded in my head, the type of person I always wanted to get to know but can never know because he was gone.”
Maldonado created the film for his senior project while a Film BFA student.
