Tribeca Film Fellows Alum Spotlighted By Yahoo en Espanol

An alum of our Tribeca Film Fellows® program, Frisly Soberanis gained attention last year when he asked for donations to pay for his first semester of college, as he couldn't qualify for financial aid as he's an undocumented student.

This news on Frisly is centered on his filmmaking talents, as his film Madurando has been selected by Yahoo en Espanol for its celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Made with a film crew all under 19-years-old, the film follows Pablo Soberanis, a hispanic teenager who learns that his cellphone bill is nothing compared with the family’s financial problems.
