IDIWS Sneak Peek: PIZZA GUY RETURNS by Philip D. Summers. A timid pizza delivery guy unknowingly interrupts a cult meeting and must fight for his survival as interdimensional chaos ensues.

"'Pizza Guy Returns' is a remake of the first short film I ever made: 'Pizza Guy'. When I was 15, my high school friends and I made the original film in my dad's garage with an iPhone 6 and old Halloween decorations. I decided to screen the film at a party later that year, and to my complete surprise, my friends and parents loved it. And from that moment on, I have been working on honing my skills as a writer, director, costumer, props master, set designer, and even actor both independently and through my BFA degree here at the U of A. Before I was even accepted into the BFA program, I knew EXACTLY which film I would make as my thesis: Pizza Guy...Returns! With the script pulling thematic inspiration from actual life events that I have endured and through the extreme dedication and creativity of my team, I have been able to bring my dream to life," says writer/director Philip D. Summers.

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

IDIWS Sneak Peek: PLAY PRETEND by Jordan Fouts. A down on her luck party princess is given one more chance to keep her job after a gig goes horribly wrong.

"For my thesis film, I wanted to tell a story that reflected something significant to my college experience. Being a party princess has been a major part of my journey at the University of Arizona - for the past three years I have been part of a student organization that strives to bring the type of performance seen in my film to children in our Southern Arizona community. But I knew my film couldn’t be just about bright colors and fancy ball gowns. I wanted it to speak to something deeper ... so in this film, through the lens of this party princess, I hope to celebrate the lesser known artist, the one who may not be the most recognized, but whose art has more value and impact on the people around them than they realize," says writer/director Jordan Fouts.

Premiering 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."

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