A $1 million dollar smile... Two MFA film alums get the picture Filmmaker Faraday Okoro  Source: Phillip David Nondorf/New York Times photo The chance of a lifetime at a $1 million grant to make a feature film is what young filmmakers were offered by AT&T in partnership with Tribeca Institute. We are proud to share the winners are School of C MFA film alums and screenwriting partners,  Farady Okoro and Andrew Long, who pitched their screenplay,   Nigerian Prince. They won the $1 million to develop their film, which will be featured at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2018. The winning film will stream on AT&T platforms, including DirecTV Now, according to Cara Buckley's New York Times story. Congratulations to our alum.
