He was born and raised in Seattle before earning his BFA in Acting from the University of Montana (2006) and MFA from Mac Wellman’s playwriting program at Brooklyn College (2015). He most recently wrote and produced the feature roofing comedy Guttermuckers, and stars in the film alongside Jim Belushi, Bobby Lee, Leslie Jones, Lil’ Rel Howery and Eleanor Kerrigan, currently in post production. Hobbies include sourdough bread baking, mountain ultrarunning and Seattle Mariners baseball. It’s been said that his years of enduring pain as a Mariners fan have translated directly to making him a natural suffer-loving ultrarunner.

He is a filmmaker, writer and curator with a BA in Art Theory and Criticism currently based in the occupied lands known as the Midwest. After moving to Missoula in 2017, working for the Roxy Film Academy, the Roxy Theater itself, IWFF and MTFF (and now working remotely) there is no doubt that the Roxy continues to be his community cinema.

A lifelong Missoulian, Mike Emmons is the programming director of both MTFF and the Roxy Theater. Mike has a degree in English from Northwestern University, where his passion for film was first fostered at NU’s Block Cinema.

Sarah Ferguson
Executive Director of the Roxy Theater
Sarah Ferguson (known by everyone as Fergie) hails from Minneapolis where she worked in copywriting and creative in the advertising industry until that sucked the soul from her body. She’s called Missoula home since 2014 and the Roxy home for just as long. She wears a lot of hats for the team including producing many festivals and heading up the Roxy’s marketing efforts. Movies, music, books, and tea seem to take up a lot of her time and brain space. You’ll often see her sprinting around the hallway and lobby, fumbling through intros, running a Q&A, and generally having a good time. She’s also a host of our radio show, Roxy Radio on 101.5.
Josh Moyar
Film Festival Coordinator
Born and raised in Chicago, Josh fell in love with film watching movies with his parents, who showed him Alien, Best in Show, and The Birdcage. He came to Missoula in 2019 and graduated with a masters degree in environmental journalism. Josh’s work with the International Wildlife Film Festival marries his love of film and the environment, but he has a soft spot for MTFF, where he gets to explore the weirder side of his cinematic taste. Josh loves genre films, especially horror and animation. When not working at the Roxy, you can find him watching movies at the Roxy.
