In 2023, directors and JHU Film & Media Studies Faculty Marly Hern\u00e1ndez Cort\u00e9s and Stephen Schuyler shot their debut feature film, Stealing Cars<\/em>, in Baltimore with a small production team which included UWP Senior Lecturer Nate Brown. Previously, Hern\u00e1ndez Cort\u00e9s and Schuyler, the married filmmakers behind Filmico Pastiche<\/a>, wrote, shot, and produced a series of documentary<\/a> shorts introducing the University Writing Program to the broader JHU community and to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This special community sneak peek of their debut feature film,\u00a0Stealing Cars,<\/em>\u00a0will be the public’s first opportunity to see the movie and will take place on Friday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. at Baltimore’s historic\u00a0Parkway Theatre<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring an original score by the Peabody Institute’s Chris Kennedy<\/a> and a cameo by Brown, Stealing Cars <\/em>tells the story of Mat\u00edas (Carlos Pagan Cruz), who moves to Baltimore to live with his estranged father following the unexpected death of his mother. A story of grief, love, reconciliation, and adolescence, Stealing Cars <\/em>is part cautionary tale about an increasingly unattainable American dream and part love letter to Baltimore City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
