Stowe Fellowship Winner

A round of applause to the Stowe Story Labs Film Fatales Fellowship winner Storm Miguel Florez for Welcome to Roswell. Welcome to Roswell is a Mockumentary Comedy Feature about a middle aged transgender filmmaker who returns to his father’s conservative birthplace of Roswell, New Mexico to document coming out to his family; however, his partner’s obsession with the 1947 UFO crash takes him and his film crew in a very different direction.

We’d also like to celebrate Alex Bush for receiving the Film Fatales Honorable Mention for Thaw, a love story about your loved ones teaching you who you truly are. It explores gender being an experience that is reflected back to you and the valley between who we are and how we are seen.

Congratulations to all the finalists for the Stowe Story Lab Film Fatales Fellowship and thank you for all of your submissions.

The Stowe Story Labs Film Fatales Fellowship is awarded to a talented filmmaker of any marginalized gender who presents a compelling, fresh story with intriguing, traditionally underrepresented characters.
