Mariano, an NYFA alum, will be awarded a one-year tuition scholarship from Toshiba to NYFA programs.

Toshiba said the competition invited the over 40,000 students and alumni of the NYFA to build on Toshiba’s popular “The One to Watch” Regza brand campaign and submit a short film highlighting the LCD TV line.

Mariano is a native of Miami who moved to the Los Angeles area to pursue filmmaking. He graduated from the NYFA’s L.A. campus in March of 2007.
The winner was determined by a panel of judges based on creativity of the video, use of humor, originality and relevance to the contest theme — “The One to Watch.”
