The short film Legacy was inspired by director Ashley Jun’s personal experience with grief.
“Just two short months after my own dad had passed away, I came up with the idea for Legacy, while the loss was still very fresh,” says Jun, 2024 graduate of the communications, media and film program.
“The close relationship between my dad and I was something that I wanted to convey, and I thought what better way to share that than through art.”
