For UA grad student, short film winningly explores real-life story
University of Arizona grad student Priscilla Hefley made a stirring short film about her adoption called "Talking With the Moon Princess."

Hefley's whimsical 17-minute drama, which mixes documentary and animation in exploring the circumstances that led her Chinese parents to give her up for adoption, won the March 2007 Tucson Lunafest, a film festival devoted to films by and about women.

Hefley, 26, who was born in China and raised in San Antonio, is going for her master's in business administration. She's exploring a career in the movie industry.
