Name: Danny Laplaza
Hometown: Albertson, New York
Major: Film and Television
Relationship Status: In a relationship
HC: Are you involved in any clubs at BU?
DL: Well, if you want to consider working on Baystate a club, then I’m currently a PA and an editor on the show.
HC: What are some of your interests and hobbies?
DL: I recently really got into snowboarding so during the winter going upstate to the mountain is always awesome. Something else I just starting doing is hacky sacking or foot bagging with a bunch of my buddies outside. For years, I’ve also been a really big fan of E.D.M. (electric dance music), so I’m really happy that people are starting to appreciate electric music and all that it comes with it.
HC: What one song describes your life?
DL: That’s a tough question. Although I love EDM, I also love all other types of music. If had to choose it would probably be “Running A Wrong Way” by ATB with Rea Garvey.
HC: What is your dream job?
DL: My dream job would have to be a bigshoot movie director working somewhere in LA. Otherwise, if we’re dreaming bigger, an EDM dj or producer would be great, too.
HC: What are your summer plans?
DL: I actually just got an internship in Manhattan working at a PR firm that deals with movies and television. I have to manage movie premieres and make sure that the press gets the interviews that they want with the directors, actors or anyone else involved in the movie. Should be a lot of work but I’m excited.
