# Seneca celebrates the success of a once-student, now professor

We are #SenecaProud of Pranay Nichani, who worked on To Kill a Tiger, which is nominated in the [Documentary Feature Film category](https://abc.com/shows/oscars/news/nominations/oscar-nominations-2024-list) at this year’s Academy Awards.

Mr. Nichani, graduated from Seneca’s Documentary & Non-Fiction Media Production program in 2017 and is currently a Professor in the School of Creative Arts & Animation. He worked as an assistant editor and post-production supervisor in the Oscar nominated documentary.

On Sunday, March 10, the entire Seneca community will be watching the 96th Academy Awards and cheering you on, Mr. Nichani!
