Rye Brook resident Guillermo Prieto IV, a senior film student at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, poses with a photo of his paternal grandparents. They’re the subject of the short film he’s submitting as his senior thesis, titled “El Pumita.” With aspirations to film across New York State, including Rye Brook, he’s currently raising funds to finance the project.
