Congrats to IMA alum Alvin Seenauth – winner of the prestigious 2026 National Board of Review Student Grant for his thesis film – The Knock That Never Leaves.  IMA student Junaid Arif worked on the cinematography.

About the film:
Loving father, husband, and small business owner Peter Asan built a life of fulfillment in New York — until immigration agents arrived at his home in 2021. An over-40-year-old criminal conviction, stemming from a coerced plea deal in 1989, reemerged and threatened to separate him from his wife Catalina and their three children. Through an intimate, day-in-the-life portrait, The Knock That Never Leaves follows Peter as he navigates the delicate space between ordinary routine and extraordinary unpredictability.
