Congratulations to film and TV writer-producer Dino Stamatopoulos, an alumnus of Columbia College Chicago‘s film program. The 2015 film Anomalisa, which he co-produced, has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

While attending Columbia College in 1983-86, Dino took acting, improv, voice, and comedy classes in the Theatre Department to complement his major studies in film.
