Tower-Fall-2018

FALL 2018 | TOWER 15 Murga three tries to get in, and she credits her short film “One Halloween,” which aired on HBO, with doing the trick. It wasn’t that she was short on experience. Her produced work includes projects for recognizable clients including ABC, MLB, ESPN, Verizon, AT&T, Walgreens and many more. Through the Disney/ABC Program, she’s been mentored by directors such as Billy Gierhart of “Sons of Anarchy” and “The Walking Dead” fame, working on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.;” and Kevin McKidd, working on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Aside from her studies with the program, Murga is hard at work on both a documentary film focused on Puerto Rico’s recovery after being devastated by Hurricane Maria, and a feature film, the details of which are top secret. Although she’s in Los Angeles “making it” with big names, Murga remains fiercely proud of her KU roots. She attributes being able to do what she can now professionally to the fundamentals she learned as a KU student. “I’m always proud to declare I’m a Golden Bear,” Murga said. Murga returned to speakwithmembers of KU’sMilitaryClub in the spring.
