UA School of Theatre, Film & Television Announces Jurors for the Annual Student Film Screening Event I Dream in Widescreen

Tucson, AZ – UA School of Theatre, Film & Television announces an impressive lineup of film industry professionals to serve as jurors for their annual BFA student thesis films screening event, I Dream in Widescreen, presented on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at 7pm at the Fox Tucson Theatre located at 17 W. Congress Street, Tucson, AZ. 

The School of Theatre, Film & Television is proud to welcome filmmakers Allison Anders and Tyler Gillett, and film critic Katie Walsh as the 2019 I Dream in Widescreen jurors.  This unique group of experts brings an outstanding collection of experience to the adjudication process.

Allison Anders (Gas, Food, Lodging, Mi Vida Loca) is a remarkable writer and director with a long list of nominations and awards including a New York Film Critics Circle Award, a Peabody Award, and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. Anders, who has recently been directing for television (Riverdale, Sorry for Your Loss) also received an Emmy nomination for Best Director for her 2013 film, Ring of Fire, based on the life of June Carter Cash.

The School of Theatre, Film & Television is also thrilled to have Tyler Gillett, a graduate of the BFA film program in 2004, as a juror. Gillett is a founding member of the filmmaking collective Radio Silence, whose recent directing credits include the Sundance hit V/H/S, 20th Century Fox’s Devil’s Due, The Orchard’s Southbound, and most recently Fox Searchlight’s Ready or Not. His professional resume and his personal connection with the school make him an excellent addition to the jury.

Film critic Katie Walsh is the perfect complement to jurors Anders and Gillett.  Based in Los Angeles, Walsh works as a critic for the LA Times and Tribune News Service.  Walsh is a member of the LA Film Critics Association and her reviews can be found in a variety of national publications.  She has a BA in Film Studies from Wesleyan University and MA in Critical Studies from USC School of Cinematic Arts.

“We are excited to have such a prominent group of individuals who are so influential in the film industry bring their expertise to assess the work of our students,” noted Associate Professor Jacob Bricca. “Their participation reflects the School’s growing profile in the industry and helps bring our students’ work to the attention of decision-makers in Hollywood.”

Jurors will make decisions on awards in nine categories, with cash prizes totaling $1,500 and in-kind awards totaling over $4000. The School of Theatre, Film & Television is proud to partner with sponsors Adobe, Monsoon Production Services, Tucson Film Office, Entertainment Partners, OWC, Pollution Studios, and Hanson Film TV Institute to offer these awards to its students.

This weekend TREASURES BENEATH MY TREE, the senior thesis film directed by TFTV alum Alexandra Cerna ('21), screened at Comic-Con International as part of the 18th annual San Diego Children’s Film Festival. Alexandra travelled to the world-famous convention to take part in a festival panel - watch an excerpt below!

TREASURES BENEATH MY TREE has now been officially selected by nearly a dozen film festivals. Additionally, on being awarded “Best of the Fest” at the Children's Film Festival Seattle, Cerna’s film is part of the Festival’s traveling film series currently screening in cinemas around the country. Next, the film will make its European debut at Festival FILMAR en América Latina, Switzerland’s premiere festival dedicated to Latin American cinema, and Festival Ciné Junior, the biggest youth film festival in France with an annual audience of 45,000.

“I am so grateful for the success of my film nationally and internationally, and it would not be possible without TFTV's Advancement Director Kerryn Negus.” says Cerna. “She developed a film festival entry strategy tailored specifically for my film and has been mentoring me for months, encouraging me to set high standards when it comes to marketing myself and my work. I am very proud of everyone involved with 'Treasures Beneath My Tree,' and excited for its upcoming European premiere in November!"

Welcome Wildcats!

On Saturday night Zach Lovvorn (BFA Film & Television ’20) walked the red carpet as a nominee at the Next Generation Indie Film Awards in Los Angeles. It’s the latest achievement for Zach and his senior thesis short IRIS, which is set in a world where everyone owns - or is owned by - a companion in the form of a sentient human eyeball. “I’m very grateful to the Next Generation Indie Film Awards for including IRIS in this year’s lineup for Best Sci-Fi Short Film!” said Zach. “It’s been a long, and often unforgiving last couple of years, so having IRIS be recognized was such a great feeling. It was an amazing opportunity and a night I’ll never forget!”

IRIS, written and directed by Zach Lovvorn and produced by Antonia Maher (BFA Film & Television ’21) and Lana Moltrop, with eyeball voiced by Alex Simpson (BFA Acting '23) has also been an official selection at the Brooklyn SciFi Film Festival in New York, the Phoenix Film Festival in Arizona, and Phoenix Shorts in Ottawa Canada, where it won Best SciFi/Fantasy Short. Last week the film was part of a special screening presented by the Bristol Science Film Festival in the UK, where it was included in a lineup of science fact or fiction films with a data science and AI theme shortlisted for the Jean Golding Institute prize.

Congratulations Zach!
