From UC San Diego Today: "Film 'Sinners' Makes Academy Award History, Led by UC San Diego Alumnus"
"My work challenges mainstream notions of storytelling and filmmaking. UC San Diego and the Visual Arts Department were part of my foundational education in filmmaking....Additionally, the focus of my Sixth College curriculum—Culture, Art and Technology—is where we did a lot of thinking, meditating and research on how culture, art and technology are all at odds with one another, and oftentimes, one and the same in today's society." -Sev Ohanian, class of 2008
