Woohoo!!

Way Cool! Congratulations!

Inspired by the stories from her own Mexican-American family and filmed entirely in Tucson's Barrio Viejo, Roxanna Denise Stevens Ibarra’s poignant senior thesis short TESORO has now been selected by 10 film festivals around the country. This month, TESORO will screen at the 25th Annual Urbanworld Film Festival in New York. Roxanna's film will be part of a star-studded hybrid festival featuring Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay, “Wu-Tang: An American Saga’s” RZA and Shameik Moore, “King Richard” director Reinaldo Marcus Green and star Aunjanue Ellis, “Power Book III: Raising Kanan’s” Patina Miller; “Sankofa” filmmaker Haile Gerima and more.

TESORO is one of seven short films in Urbanworld's Young Creators Showcase, screening both virtually and in person at Cinépolis Cinemas Chelsea on September 30.

“Having TESORO - a film created with family and our small Chicano community in Tucson - being screened as part of the Young Creators Showcase in NYC, at the largest Academy Award-qualifying film festival in the world, is magical. I just want to make my family proud and continue to make art, and I’m so grateful that UrbanWorld is providing a space to do that,” says Roxanna.

Above: a behind-the-scenes images of Roxanna flanked by her sisters Raquelle and Rebecca who acted as extras in the film, and with co-star Victor Garcia Rodríguez. Roxanna graduated from UA School of Theatre, Film & Television with a BFA in Film & Television in 2020 and will soon complete her BM in Music Education from The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music. From all of us at TFTV, congratulations Roxy!

It’s Emmy season, and this weekend at the Creative Arts Emmys we'll be on the lookout for TFTV alum John Matter (’01)! John is nominated in the category of Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama for his work as Dialogue Editor on HBO’s Lovecraft Country.

"It is such an honor to have a third Emmy nomination! After working so hard on 'Lovecraft Country' during such a difficult year - with the whole family locked down at home doing remote school and work - to have my work recognized and nominated again feels like such a huge achievement! I also feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to work on such an important project with such awesome and talented people," says John.

This third nomination follows John's 2019 Emmy win for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series for his work on 'Game of Thrones'.

Congratulations John! ... See MoreSee Less
