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.”
