DI Grad Awarded Fellowship

Michael Nichols and Joshua Woltermann recently premiered their thesis film, Man Behind the Curtain, at the DI’s 10th Annual Student Screening. But, as most filmmakers are prone to do, they would probably tell you there is still a lot of tweaking to do on the film. They now have a little more money to do it with. Nichols, who received his undergraduate degree from Amherst College, was recently awarded a $4,900 fellowship from his alma mater.

The Roland Wood Fellowship is awarded annually on recommendation of the Department of Theater and Dance to one or more promising and deserving graduates of Amherst College for continued study in a field related to theatre. Nichols will use the funds to continue post-production work on Man Behind the Curtain.
