I Dream in Widescreen Sneak Peek: PEOPLE FOR PAWS by Cody Rivera. Rivera’s film explores the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and the incredible staff and volunteers who devote their lives helping animals find a better home.

“The Humane Society is a vital part of Tucson’s Community,” says writer/director Cody Rivera. “The amount of time and resources that they devote to sheltering, providing medical care, and training with the goal of finding loving homes for every animal is extremely admirable. I wanted to shine a greater light on not only the animals, but the caring and supportive people involved as well.”

Tune in to News 4 Tucson - KVOA at 5pm today, when Cody speaks about the process of making this film. PEOPLE FOR PAWS premieres at I Dream in Widescreen 2025! More info and tickets at idiw.tftv.arizona.edu.

IDIWS Sneak Peek: NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU FOR MILES by Allie Cincera. In the aftermath of a paranormal event, two sisters must battle madness, fervor, and isolation in a post-apocalyptic world.

“My dad passed down his love of horror films to me, and I knew that my last film at the U of A would be a love letter to my favorite atmospheric horror films," says writer/director Cincera. "As someone with a twin and two older sisters, writing and directing a relationship between two characters who are sisters within this isolated, post-apocalyptic world felt deeply personal and challenging but also new and exciting at the same time."

IDIWS Sneak Peek: EVEN NOW by Cosmo Brusa Zappellini. A group of artists with chronic pain come together in discussion and co-creation with the hope of using art as a way to process and heal wounds that seemingly cannot be healed.

“The film bounces between fictional sequences and the documentary footage that inspired it. The creation of this film was a collaborative process, as the director, I was there to guide conversations, focus on ideas, and help craft the reenactment sequences. I wanted to use co-creation as a method for the participants to maintain ownership over personal narrative ... There are too many influences to mention but for this film specifically, my mother’s process for living with chronic pain and my own affinity for magical realism were undoubtedly influential,” says writer/director Cosmo Brusa Zappellini.

IDIWS Sneak Peek: UNIVERSE ACADEMY by Daniel Cadena. A universe-building student must get his project approved before it kills him.

“I’ve always loved fantasy media and its ability to represent real world issues through an other-worldly lens. Capturing an emotion so that someone can watch and feel seen has always been my goal in writing ... When I first got to college, I was fearful of the very idea of someone reading what I wrote. This program gave me confidence that the words I put on the page can grow beyond what I originally thought possible, and that everyone has an audience to create for,” says writer/director Daniel Cadena.

Premiering at I Dream in Widescreen 2025! More info and tickets at idiw.tftv.arizona.edu.
