Villanova faculty, staff, and students are cordially invited to join us on Wednesday, Feb. 24, from 6-7 p.m., for an exciting virtual presentation by the co-directors of Disney’s upcoming animated film, Raya and the Last Dragon. Paul Briggs and John Ripa will discuss their experiences directing the feature to be released on March 5 on Disney+ and in select theaters. They will offer insights into the production process and provide valuable tips on how to navigate the film industry for aspiring filmmakers.

Raya and the Last Dragon is an action/adventure film that has a PG rating. Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well. (Disney)
