We’ve all been there: adolescence. For many of us, including Yulin Kuang, it’s a “total lack of coolness” phase. Instead of cringing at those memories, Kuang (DC’12) turned them into a coming-of-age comedic screenplay titled, “The Perils of Growing up Flat-Chested.” It won the $15,000 Ellen Weiss Kander Award in the Steeltown Film Factory contest, which is held to nurture and encourage filmmakers in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Kuang will use the prize money to produce her short film.
