Regal’s Post

With graduation just one day away, we’re continuing to celebrate our talented USC School of Cinematic Arts Regal Scholars.   Today’s featured scholar: Rita Pereyra ‘26, MFA, Kevin Feige Division of Film & Television Production   Rita Pereyra is a writer and director from Mendoza, Argentina. Raised by a determined single mother who immigrated to Miami, Rita's childhood was marked by poverty and uncertainty, leading her to find solace and inspiration in storytelling.   She went on to earn two degrees in Political Science and English from Florida International University, graduating with honors while remaining active in community work and advocacy.   Now graduating from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts—where she’s been honored as an Annenberg Fellow and a Regal Scholar—Rita remains rooted in her mission to amplify stories that are often underrepresented.   Congratulations, Rita! Regal is excited to see how your storytelling continues to create meaningful impact and inspire future audiences.
