A recent Milwaukee Magazine wedding guide featured UWM alums Gabriella Cisneros (BFA 2018, Film) and Caleb Peavy (BFA 2019, Film), who began their love story when the two met at PSOA’s Visual Arts & Film Equipment Room, where Peavy previously worked.  

In the Milwaukee Magazine article by Kristine Hansen, the happy couple recounts how their chance encounters in Mitchell Hall and how their time in the Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres program brought them closer together. 

“We ran into each other again a few months later at the Kenilworth building for a film class. We had a longer conversation about shoulder mounts for cameras, bands we like, and family members’ embarrassing posts on Facebook,” Cisneros recalls. “A little over six years later, I proposed to him on my birthday in the alley near the Kenilworth building.”
