In this episode of FIVE WITH A (future) FALCON, Emily Puccia (COMM '26) talks to Danny Schaffer (COMM '27) about his goals and aspirations as he makes the transition from Middlesex Community College to Fitchburg State University starting the Fall 2025 semester.
Danny completed his Associates Degree at Middlesex in film and video production -- and is now looking forward to continue building towards a career in film production by finishing his bachelor's degree as a Communications Media major in the film/video concentration as a Falcon.
Danny is an avid writer who is deeply invested in the world of filmmaking. As part of his network of collaborators at Middlesex (many of them Fitchburg State transferees), Danny’s been a part of projects such A Cold Night in Tartarus, The Lowell Mural Documentary, Sunday and Lonestar 3. Emily, Danny and friends are now collaborating on their own indie film studio, Renegade Studios, since 2023.
