SCA is announcing "...the Moustapha and Malek Akkad Student Support Fund, which will provide financial aid to international students studying at the School. The first recipient is Kay Zhang, an MFA student from China who is studying directing and producing. Zhang is currently working on her thesis film Mother in the Mist, about a young mother in Wuhan, China, who is locked out of the hospital that is treating her premature baby after the COVID pandemic hits.

The Moustapha and Malek Akkad Student Support Fund will be awarded each year to a current international student who, like the Akkads, is interested in using their artistry to further stories that can travel the globe. Even the kind that might require cleanup of buckets-full of film blood at the end of each day’s shoot."
