Wright State University 2013 film graduates Ashley Brandon and Dennis Hohne received a Student Academy Award nomination this past spring for their short documentary “Punches & Pedicures.”
An intriguing look at the life of former gang member-turned-manicurist/pedicurist Victor Pham of Defiance, Ohio, “Punches & Pedicures” traversed the film festival circuit and also managed multiple regional wins before being named a documentary finalist for the 41st edition of the Student Academy Awards, which were held June 7 at the Directors Guild of America Theater Complex in Los Angeles.
