    William Donaruma
    Associate Professional Specialist at University of Notre Dame and member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences

    Born in Massachusetts, William Donaruma grew up in Branford, Connecticut and graduated in 1989 from the University of Notre Dame. William then found himself at Universal Studios Florida working his way into the resident grip/electric crew, which also afforded opportunities in stunt work on commercials and television shows.  William was then hired to be a part of the Universal Backlot Productions department, which handled the influx of productions shooting on the lot.  This eventually led to becoming a production manager on television shows, commercials, music videos, and network specials.

    William then left Universal and started freelancing as a key grip for small films and special FX units in Los Angeles as well as becoming a prominent camera operator and editor in the Orlando area.  The opportunity then came to join the faculty at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN, where he now lives with his wife (co-writer) and four children.  He teaches classes on narrative filmmaking, cinematography, acting for the camera and HD technology.  He has most recently made a series of short films and is currently working on a feature documentary about a boxing club and its impact on missions in Bangladesh.
