Beschrijving

Rashad Frett just won the Sundance directing award for “Ricky,” a raw, heartfelt film about a man rebuilding his life in Hartford after prison — a city he knows intimately. Born from a short he wrote at NYU and shaped by real conversations with parole officers, the movie captures the fragile hope and messy reality of re-entry. Frett, a former combat medic turned filmmaker, credits his breakthrough to a mentor who pushed him to “sink or swim” — and he dove in, mastering every facet of filmmaking. His intuitive, intimate directing style — blending his background as editor, actor, and cinematographer — draws viewers into Ricky’s flawed, relatable journey. Now teaching film and eyeing a comeback for his earlier project “The Second District,” Frett’s Sundance win is just the beginning of his mission to spotlight Hartford and uplift stories that matter.

Jury Awards $4M for Stolen Protein Tech | Hartford News

A federal jury just awarded Yale and Biohaven a whopping $4 million after finding RA Capital and Avilar Therapeutics willfully stole Yale’s proprietary protein degradation tech, MODA. The case, filed in March 2023, centered on confidential data RA Capital accessed in 2019 during a failed deal — data allegedly used to launch Avilar, a rival company. The jury sided with plaintiffs, ruling RA Capital breached confidentiality and misappropriated key trade secrets worth $2 million each, totaling $4 million. RA Capital called the verdict “modest” and denied wrongdoing, while Biohaven and Yale hailed the win as a victory for innovation and integrity in biotech partnerships.
