Last week, Doc Studies alum Sarah Frank (‘08) was awarded Best Documentary Short at the CMJ’s inaugural CineMini Short Film Festival in Manhattan. Frank was awarded with a package, including software and a camera, for her next film.

Frank's film, In Bed with a Mosquito, is an intimate portrait of activism and aging in New York City, focusing on the life of Betty Brassell, a 78-year-old, anti-war activist, living in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Fellow alum Carlos Barbot was also a finalist for the award.
