The 2019 Academy Award nominations have been announced, and a CBA graduate woke up yesterday morning to find out the film he helped make is now a contender!

This is a photo of Sean McDermott of Wall Township on the set of the short film "Skin", where he was the set decorator and prop handler -- including having to hold onto this snake in-between takes.

Sean graduated from CBA in 2011, then went on to college in Connecticut and then to NYC where he worked on music videos before moving to California a couple of years ago.

Before he could even submit a resume, he was hired to work on Skin (which is now being made into a full-length film.) This photo was taken on the set while Sean was wrangling the snake for a scene with a child actor.

Let's hope that our Monmouth County boy can soon add to his resume "Oscar Winning Film."
