In 2020, Penn State Schuylkill faculty members Cathy Fiorillo, associate teaching professor of theater and speech, and David "D.J." Higgins, assistant teaching professor of film/video and music, collaborated to bring a short film to life. This short film is a romantic comedy exploring the budding relationship between two individuals who employ the five love languages to find lasting love and form a solid relationship — even despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The film was written by and stars Fiorillo, and Higgins directed the short. Thus far, the film has won dozens of awards on the festival circuit, but may only be showed privately until its festival run is over. This seminar will feature an exclusive private screening of the 28-minute film followed by a Q&A. Read more about Fiorillo and Higgins' collaboration >
