Carissa, a film directed by David Sauvage '98, won Best Documentary Short at this month's Newport Beach Film Festival.
Carissa tells the inspirational story of Carissa Phelps, a recent law and business school graduate from UCLA, who was homeless and forced into prostitution when she was twelve years old in Fresno.
Davis Guggenheim, Academy Award-winning director of An Inconvenient Truth, calls Sauvage "a promising young filmmaker ... Carissa has the potential to be great--maybe even change the world."
