The Wolves – School of Theatre, Film & Television

The Wolves offers an unflinching, intimate glimpse into the world of a high school women’s soccer team. Nine diverse teammates navigate questions of identity, community, and society all while warming up for the last few games of their season. Playwright Sarah DeLappe’s unique, overlapping dialogue moves from moments that are deadly serious to awkwardly hilarious, but always true to life. With an ensemble of distinct female characters, this fast moving play offers audiences a window into the intense world of female adolescence. The Wolves was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Congratulations to University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film & Television student Brett Jones (BFA Film & Television, '23) whose film SOMETHING TO FEAR was an award winner at the recent Doc Sunback Film Festival. Brett's film, which he made as part of FTV 314a Documentary Production class, follows top college basketball recruit Kennedy Brown as she battles her detractors, and her own demons, as she makes her way to the top. The film premiered at the December 2021 edition of WHAT'S UP, DOCS at The Loft Cinema.

Brett recently spoke with his hometown newspaper about his filmmaking journey so far, and how he maintains focus on both his perspective as a filmmaker and the experience of the viewer. “I think one of the most valuable things I've learned is that you have to balance what you want and then what someone else is going to get out of it,” Jones said. “It gets to a point where you're like, ‘okay, this is the idea I want, this is the kind of unique take I want on it, but how do we build [the film] for an audience for them to understand that unique take?’ So it always starts with your passion, but then you have to construct and manipulate that passion for an audience.”

Fantastic Brett!

Along with fellow graduate Vinney Pugliese, they also helped close the ceremony by leading the stadium in singing 'All Hail, Arizona' (Alma Mater).

Can't get enough of our student short films? You're in luck!

Join us tomorrow for the final screening event of the semester with the debut of 10 brand new student short films during Magic Hour at The Loft Cinema.

In these films, made during the FTV 315a Fiction Production Class, you'll see two wanna-be-spy siblings, an extreme commitment-phobe, condiments in love, a hung-over interviewee, the game LIFE, a bumbling pair of pranksters, a sore loser, a father facing his mortality, two bickering brothers, a tale of love, and ants in the Biosphere.

Joining the 10 TFTV films is an animated short made by students in the University of Arizona School of Art entitled WHO PUT THESE ANTS IN MY BIOSPHERE? This film is the result of a Research, Innovation, and Impact Grant titled “Science in Motion” and organized by Aaron Bugaj and Ellen McMahon with KeBiosphere 2 BiosArizona Institutes for Resiliencer Resilience. Each student contributed 10 seconds of animation focusing on either moss, coral, agrivoltaics, or resilience from the vantage point of an ant inhabiting Biosphere 2.

A struggling drag queen's evening takes an unexpected turn when she meets a persistent houseless man while en route to her show in TWIXXX, written and directed by Martin Olloren. "I love using film to give a voice to marginalized groups of people and TWIXXX tackles two extremely marginalized groups: the Black LGBTQ+ community and people without housing. I wrote TWIXXX not only to shed light on the adversity of these specific groups, but also to remind everyone that we are stronger together."

In PUNCHLINE, Nate finds newfound internet fame as the victim of several filmed assaults broadcasted on a rival’s social media account and learns the ultimate lesson through a knock-knock joke gone bad. Written and directed by James Valacich. "Observing certain online personalities made me wonder how far, morally and/or legally, an influencer could go to get recognition ... I wanted to make a found footage film with an online vlogger feel."

Both films will premiere at I Dream in Widescreen 2022 ! More info and tickets at idiw.tftv.arizona.edu.

INTERIM is written and directed by Heath Bannard. "I wanted to really say something meaningful and be really, embarrassingly honest. As I looked around at lots of art, even art I love, I noticed more and more how things were sort of masked by poetic language or characters, mis en scene, etc. Though all of these things are beautiful parts of the medium, I wanted people to really walk away with what I had told them. I wanted what I had said to be so clear that you couldn't possibly miss it, it couldn't possibly go over your head."

Amid a global pandemic, an isolated nineteen-year-old boy would explore the world of rap music, but one fatal choice to try the drugs in his favorite song would end his life abruptly in 9TEEN, a documentary film written and directed by Desirée Bourret. "I was introduced to my subject's mother, and she told me about this young, vibrant soul, Dakota, who lost his life at 19 based on a single choice to take a pill. Dakota was trying to push through what was a difficult time in the world, by expressing himself through the creative outlet of music ... This project is for Dakota, his loved ones, victims of fentanyl poisoning, and the youth who might be able to see their experiences through Dakota's and remember how important their lives are."

Both films will premiere at I Dream in Widescreen 2022! More info and tickets at idiw.tftv.arizona.edu.
