“Carson Pedaci, a college senior, is preparing to step away from not just one, but many defining roles—as a leader, a performer, and a symbol of tradition. Through intimate storytelling and striking visuals, Hanging Up the Hat is a heartfelt reflection on change, letting go, and discovering who you are beyond the roles you’ve always played.”
