Villanova Student Hopes To Produce Film In Bryn Mawr

BRYN MAWR, PA -- A Villanova University student is looking to bring a little bit of Hollywood to the Main Line.

Juliana Piscina, a junior at Villanova University who is studying film and production, is hoping to film her first feature, a short film she wrote called “Wavefield.”

According to Piscina:

Wavefield, a student short film, tells the story of a female soldier coming home from her third tour, but her truth is on the battleground and her war is at home. Niki has a loving husband, Kyle, and beautiful son Tucker. However, this honorable family will be attacked by a haunting reality—that her child is not her husband’s son. Wavefield, will delve into the internal struggle of a loveless marriage and a moral complex preventing the truth from revealing itself. My short film sheds light on the complexities of returning from a war, the disheartening tension of an ending marriage and the gender roles these characters feel they must uphold throughout this process.

A GoFundMe to help launch Piscina’s project has already raised nearly $2,000. She had set a modest goal of $1,200 for fundraising.

Piscina added that she would work with the Villanova Department of Communications to help guide and produce the film.
