Description
Artists-in-Residence: Hollywood Duo Tijuana Ricks and Anthony Pirro.
Join us for the National Parks Arts Foundation June/July artists in residence, award-winning Tijuana Ricks and Anthony Pirro. With support from the National Parks Arts Foundation and Friends of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, the couple will discuss classical story-telling techniques and how they apply them to their screenwriting. Tijuana Ricks is an actress, writer and director, whose screen credits include four seasons of Showtime’s “Billions,” and Netflix’s Marvel series “Luke Cage” and “Iron Fist.” Anthony Pirro’s diverse background as a marine biologist, genomics researcher and educational leader rounds out the talented couple. He has developed more than 40 creative projects, including the animated feature, “Pigeons in Paradise.” The pair’s residency provides an opportunity for the public to engage with professional film artists as they explore their creative work in the park.
