The July issue of Diversity Rules Magazine features an interview with Emiliana Jasper by Keith Hubner. Keith talks with Emiliana about her “breakout role” in a new psychological thriller called “MIA.”

As per Keith’s interview, “Emiliana Jasper brings striking emotional depth to her breakout role in the gripping psychological thriller MIA, releasing this month—a performance shaped by a lifetime of resilience, imagination, and quiet rebellion. Raised in a conservative Minnesota household where identity was tightly policed, the openly gay actress discovered freedom through storytelling, cultivating a fierce drive to explore the emotional gray zones so often ignored by mainstream cinema. Now based in Santa Barbara, she balances a nine-to-five job with weekend trips to Los Angeles for auditions, shoots, and screenings. Her grounded performances and unapologetic authenticity are quickly earning her attention. “There’s still a stigma to being gay in Hollywood,” Jasper acknowledges, “but I feel a shift happening. Younger filmmakers are valuing queerness as a lens for bold, emotionally rich stories. With MIA, she steps into that shift, bringing nuance, urgency, and vulnerability to a character whose reality teeters between obsession and truth. Jasper isn’t just a compelling new face—she’s part of a rising wave of queer storytellers redefining what it means to lead, both on screen and behind the scenes.

It should prove to be a great film.
