Professors Justin Liberman and Damon Maulucci of the school’s film and television master’s program were honored for their professional achievements.

Maulucci recently released his critically acclaimed feature film “Detonator.”

“2015 will continue to be an exciting year,” said Maulucci. “Justin and I both have films we’re looking to shoot in the state, and we are thrilled to be recognized for our work and the success of the FTMA program.

Liberman founded the FTMA program at Sacred Heart’s Stamford Graduate Center and is waiting for his feature film “Mary Joe” to be released.

“This is a nice honor, and I hope it helps bring exposure to the FTMA program,” said Liberman. “We are really trying to build a film tradition here at SHU, and the more we garner recognition for our work—alongside our students’ work—the more the tradition grows. 2015 is going to be an important and exciting year for our program. We continue to grow and expand and look forward to organizing an incredible second annual FTMA Film Festival in September.”
