PASCO

“PASCO” is a 10-minute, human interest short-form film that explores the profound legacy of Pasco L. Schiavo, a revered attorney, educator, author, real estate investor, and philanthropist from Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Through immersive storytelling and intimate interviews, this thoughtfully crafted film brings to life the lasting impact of Schiavo’s generosity. Featuring voices from The Luzerne Foundation, the stewards of his estate, to community leaders and scholarship recipients benefiting from his charitable contributions, “PASCO” showcases how one man’s dedication to service continues to shape lives in real time. “PASCO” is more than a tribute—it is a testament to the power of giving and the enduring influence of a life spent in service to others. — Directed By: Jimmy T.
