MIGUEL ANGEL FERRER is a Venezuelan-Cuban-American filmmaker who immigrated to Miami as a teenager and graduated from UM.
Ferrer’s latest film, “In the Shadow of the Sun” has received many film festival awards and was nominated for an Academy Award. It is a terrific film about two struggling brothers with talent, Carlos Manuel Gonzalez and Anyelo Lopez, one of whom, Lopez, is deaf and signs throughout the film. Lopez had never acted before and gives a magnificent performance. The film was shot entirely in Venezuela.
