UM students make independent film
Independently written and produced by University of Miami students, Tiger Radio is a comedy about Mike, a college student aspiring to make it big as a radio personality but lacking the motivation.
Through a comedic chain of events, Mike’s outrageous roommates manage to give Mike the opportunity he needs to put his dreams in motion.
Quantum, the university’s film organization, has provided $500 for materials to finish the film after the producers of the film pitched multiple proposals to the organization.
Mike Menendez, writer and actor; Ryan Ondriezek, executive producer and co-director; Andrew Murphy, line producer; and Anthony Behn, co-director and director of photography have been working on the film and shot the final sequences this past weekend.
The film is scheduled to air at the Cosford Cinema on Nov. 24.
