2024 Voices Heard Judge: Immanuel Baldwin

Hello, I'm a passionate storyteller, coffee and tea lover, with a deep enthusiasm for technology as it intersects with filmmaking. My journey into filmmaking began in childhood, fueled by my love for the medium and nurtured by my creative mother, who instilled in me a unique perspective on life.

I've led initiatives across diverse domains, including higher education, identity design, marketing, and web/social media. Proficient in multiple mediums such as photography, film, illustration, and animation, I believe that exposure informs creativity and am committed to exploring new avenues for continuous growth.

My approach to directing, design, and storytelling revolves around elevated thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and a dedication to quality. I understand the subtle nuances that can transform a project from visually intriguing to profoundly impactful. I often leverage my diverse skill set to ensure the creative vision is fully realized.

I would describe my directing style as one of Introspective examination and Narrative yet Technical and Precise.

I admire directors such as Darren Aronofsky, Alex Garland, Nick Davies and Solomon Ligthelm.

As I continue to pursue my love for directing, I am constantly seeking new opportunities to elevate my ambitions and make a meaningful impact in the world of storytelling. Additionally, I strive to maintain a balance between being conceptual and technical.

2024 Judge: Jaimelyn Gray

Jaimelyn (she/her) is an Actor, Director, Producer, Theatre Advocate, and the Founder and Artistic Director of The Constructivists (Best New Theatre 2018, Milwaukee Magazine) - a small storefront theatre company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

2024 Voices Heard Judge: Ricardo Tenorio

From the beginning, Ricardo's love for film has been a huge part of his life. Self-teaching himself filmmaking skills from a very early age, he has evolved through the years and now has his own production studio, "Demon Void Studios". Even with award-winning films under his belt Ricardo always seeks to expand his dream by growing in the industry.

2024 Judge: Timothy J. Lonsdale

Growing up in Wisconsin, Tim was a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Explorer. He helped organize a train trip to the National Scout Ranch in Philmont, New Mexico. The next logical step was Special Forces. In 1968, he joined the Army, went to Jump School, became a Green Beret and spent a year in Vietnam as a sergeant with the 173rd Airborne Brigade.

Upon his discharge, he attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison for a BA in English and Theatre, and a BS in Secondary Ed. While there, he landed his first paid acting gig—he was cast in six radio dramas at WHA, the campus PBS station. He also acted in a play with classmate Jane (“Malcolm in the Middle”) Kaczmarek.

He decided to pursue an MFA in Acting. He chose to go to Southern Methodist University, where they offered him a full scholarship and a T.A. position. Besides, he always wanted to be a “Methodist” actor. While in Dallas, he performed with the Dallas Shakespeare Festival, got his Actors’ Equity card doing a dinner theater tour, and his SAG-AFTRA card when he was cast as a guest star in several episodes of “Dallas,” including three of the most watched TV episodes in history.

In 1981, he moved to New York where he acted Off-off-Broadway and in bit parts in multiple TV shows and films. He was accepted by acting guru Sanford Meisner for his private two-year program at the Neighborhood Playhouse.

The same week he was notified of good news from Mr. Meisner, he got a letter from the Directors Guild of America regarding an application and testing process he had begun six months earlier. The DGA was inviting him to join their two-year Training Program, which would ultimately lead to membership as an Assistant Director. He accepted the offer from the DGA. He knew he made the right choice when, on his first day on the job as a DGA Trainee, he was assigned to a movie starring Katherine Hepburn and Nick Nolte, directed by Tony Harvey.

Over the course of 34 years in production—7 in NY, 23 in LA and 4 in Atlanta—he has worked with about one hundred directors, including Marty Scorsese, Night Shyamalan, Martha Coolidge, Barnet Kellman, Harold Ramis, Shawn Levy and Carl Reiner. The scores of actors he has enjoyed working with include Meryl Streep (twice), Robert DeNiro, Gene Hackman (twice), Christopher Lloyd (twice), Bruce Willis, Jason Momoa, Samuel L. Jackson, Marlee Matlin and Jeff Bridges. He will not list the actors he did not enjoy working with.

Tim got the opportunity to direct prime time when he worked on “Charmed” (Aaron Spelling/WB Network) for five seasons as an AD. He successfully ended his “below-the-line” career when he worked as the Unit Production Manager on the first two seasons of “Stranger Things” (Netflix). Matt and Ross Duffer were nominated both years for DGA Best Directing Awards, and as such, the DGA also recognized Tim as the UPM and the Assistant Directors for their contributions as part of the directorial team. Due to the success of the show, he was invited to join the Producers Guild of America.

Now back in Wisconsin, Tim is focusing on “above-the-line” opportunities in writing, producing and directing. “Cricket” is the first film produced by his new company, Spring Lake International, llc.

2024 Judge: Hisonni Mustafa

Hisonni Mustafa is a Guyanese American filmmaker hailing from the city of Milwaukee, WI, which has been labeled as one of the most segregated cities in America.

Furthermore, Hisonni's directorial skills have been recognized with the Best Director award at the American Black Film Festival and the HBO feature film competition at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. He was also honored as a Gemstones Rising Storyteller Search Finalist.

Continuing to make strides in his career, Hisonni was selected as a fellow of the 2023 Commercial Directors Diversity Program. In a remarkable feat, he became the first filmmaker from Nevada to secure victory in the prestigious $175,000 Cordillera Film Festival pitch fest. Additionally, his works have been distinguished with the Best Nevada Film award at both the Nevada Women's Film Festival and Cordillera Film Festival. Hisonni's dedication to his craft has been supported by grants from esteemed institutions such as the Nevada Arts Council and The National Black Arts Forward Artist Project. Notably, he had the privilege of being the first filmmaker to participate in John Ridley's Filmmakers with No Borders Program.

Hisonni Mustafa's journey as a filmmaker is marked by his passion, talent, and commitment to telling diverse and compelling stories. With each project, he continues to leave an indelible mark on the film industry, while inspiring others with his achievements and contributions.
