Before he became a fast-rising filmmaker, Anthony Nardolillo flipped the script on his entire career.
The Brooklyn, New York-bred director never imagined he’d be making movies when he was playing college football at Virginia Tech and Shepherd University more than a decade ago, but recently released his second film, “7th & Union,” and has more projects on the way.
“I did not study film. Not until my late 20s did I even have an inkling that I’d be involved in film,” Nardolillo, who played fullback and special teams, told the Daily News.
