UNC Alumni Premiere Their Movie Musical, Dreaming of an Oscar

Posted Dec 1, 2021

By creating an original movie musical, the team could potentially activate an obscure category that no one has won in more than two decades. Now that film is making its North Carolina premiere on November 13 at the Varsity Theater on Franklin Street. (Chapelboro.com)
