Wagner alumnus Richard Baratta '73 will return to campus to speak about his distinguished career in film production.
His long list of credits includes work as a location manager (BIG, WORKING GIRL), production manager (DONNIE BRASCO, all three Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire SPIDER-MAN movies, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, DR. STRANGE, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING), and executive producer (JOKER, Martin Scorsese's THE IRISHMAN). Rich has recently returned to his first love, jazz drumming, and leads a band that has released a series of acclaimed albums and gigs regularly around the NYC area.
We're happy to welcome Rich back to Wagner, and look forward to hearing what he has to tell students about his adventures in filmmaking!
