Tubi Names Nigerian-American Creator Rosemary Idisi As Stubios Greenlight Contest Winner – Blavity
Blavity’s Shadow and Act can exclusively announce that Tubi has named Nigerian-American actress, writer and producer Rosemary Idisi as the winner of the first Stubios Greenlight Contest.
As Tubi notes, her horror/thriller project, Glamping, will premiere on Oct. 24 as a Tubi Original, and “Idisi was selected from a competitive pool of finalists and received the highest fan support during the program’s beta phase, reflecting the growing demand for authentic, underrepresented voices in film and TV.”
“I’m passionate about bringing diverse characters to life on screen, especially in genres where we haven’t traditionally seen ourselves,” said Idisi in a statement. “Stubios gave me the access, mentorship, and community support that young filmmakers like me rarely receive. I can’t wait to bring Glamping to a broader audience.”
“At Tubi, we champion untold stories — and Rosemary’s genre-defying vision for Glamping is exactly that,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “Congratulations to Rosemary for winning the Stubios Greenlight Content, and we’re thrilled to help bring her storytelling to Tubi, where stories truly find their audience.”
What is ‘Glamping’ about?
Here’s the official description of the project: Glamping follows a seemingly idyllic weekend getaway that takes a terrifying turn when a masked killer disrupts the trip of wannabe influencer Olivia and her friends in Big Bear. The film expands on Idisi’s earlier short by diving deeper into the characters’ backstories, building suspense, and exploring survival themes through a fresh, diverse lens.
What is Stubios?
Stubios is a part of Tubi for Creators, “an evolution of Tubi’s content strategy focused on making more of what hits and bringing untold stories to life.” It was launched in 2024 as “a fan-fueled creator studio designed for aspiring filmmakers and their fans. The program empowers emerging storytellers with funding, mentorship, and a direct path to premiere their original long-form content on Tubi”
