What a night 🎬✨ The Arizona Student Film Showcase was one to remember. From meeting our incredible filmmakers to celebrating their hard work on the big screen, this is exactly why we created this event 💛

One of our favorite parts of the night was seeing everyone connect — the conversations, the laughter, and the bonding between filmmakers. Every single person brought their own unique personality and energy, and it made the entire night feel so special and genuine ✨

We had the honor of recognizing some amazing talent with our awards:
🏆 Best Film: In Your Skin
🎬 Best Editing: Cocky vs. Wimpy
📖 Best Storytelling: What Remains
🎥 Best Cinematography: What Remains
🌟 Best Acting/Performance: In Your Skin
🎟️ Audience Choice Award: Cocky vs. Wimpy

We also had the opportunity to include two additional films from Bisbee, helping expand the voices and stories shared that night 🎥

A special thank you to Southern Arizona Film Society, The Screening Room, Galaxy Theatres Tucson, and The Linq Salon for supporting our showcase — we truly appreciate it.

Thank you to everyone who supported, volunteered, collaborated, and showed up for these filmmakers. This is just the beginning… 🎬✨

Grateful to Samaritans volunteer @danksrita, who appears in our documentary, and to Samaritan volunteer and Associate Producer Jeff Washburn, who covered the post- screening Q&A so I could attend my cousin’s memorial. Thank you to the 34th @azfilmfestival - representing our team @kevinderek, @pepefied11, and @writerreynagrande. The festival director told me that Pepe, Kayvon, and I are the only producing team at this Top 100 @filmfreeway festival with four different films in four consecutive years. Feeling grateful and proud. 🤜🏽💥🎥🎬 #filmfestival #documentary #samaritans Photo by @obie1jj @scrtucson

What would you say... if every word mattered?
On a frozen planet, words are currency.
Soo only get a 138 words a day
Soo saved a 113 words... just to say I love you.

Now, it's your turn.

If you had a 113 words, for someone who matters, what would you say?
Come see the wall of words growing in our lobby.
Messages to Moms, partners, friends and a few that might make you tear up.

Still haven't written yours?
There's time.

Come feel all the feels at our animation program featuring--
113 Words for You
My Grandma is a Skydiver
Pawns
Sorrow Doesn't Sleep at Night.
The Last Advice
Tuna Tartare
Ball Lightning
