Álvaro Franco

A native New Yorker, Álvaro Franco's interest in film led him to participate in the Ghetto Film School, and enroll in the Film/Video program at the City College of New York, where he earned his B.F.A. degree.

Currently he resides in the Bronx, where he is developing a short film around a specific incident in Malcolm X's life, and an art installation raising awareness of income-based discrimination.
