Amásání (The Grandmother), a short film written, directed, edited and produced by University of Arizona BFA 2017 Film & Television graduate Stacy Howard, has been selected to screen at the 2017 ImagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival, Oct. 18-20. Held annually in Toronto, ImagineNATIVE is the world’s largest Indigenous film festival.

Filmed at Mexican Water on the Navajo Nation in Navajo and English, Amásání stars Erica Anna Green and Gloria Benally in a tender exploration of the relationship between a rebellious young girl and her traditional Navajo grandmother, and pays tribute to the importance of Navajo culture and language.

Originally from Mexican Water, Howard has completed internships at the UA Hanson Film Institute and at Arizona Public Media in Tucson. She was awarded the AZPM internship by Vision Maker Media, one of only three students nationwide to be selected for the competitive program.
