“I’m learning to make movies for you, Grandma,” said senior filmmaker, Stacy Howard, whose Navajo grandmother asked her why she was going to school for filmmaking. Howard is originally from Mexican Water, Arizona, an unincorporated community in the Navajo Nation in Apache County, and her thesis film at I Dream in Widescreen is called, Amásání (The Grandma). Howard’s short film is just one of many unique stories by emerging University of Arizona filmmakers in 2017.
