“Stay Close,” a documentary short about Brooklyn fencer Keeth Smart and his improbable, rocky rise to the top of his sport, was shortlisted this week for an theacademy award—among just 10 films selected in the Documentary Short Subject category. The film was created by a handful of scrappy recent northwesternalumni from the northwesternmfaindocmedia program in the #NUSoC. We’re so excited for them and their hard work in getting this far. Now let’s get them a nomination. #oscars2020 #oscars #oscarsshortlist #northwesternuniversity #northwesterndirection #stayclose n_evo
