In October, we welcomed Vivian Hua as our new Executive Director, and a few months later, in December, I stepped into the role of Board President. Vivian and I are excited to work together on deepening community relationships from within and beyond NWFF’s walls–all while continuing to offer relevant, transformative, cinematic experiences and educational opportunities.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the human beings that make it all happen. First and foremost: YOU, those who have shown through record participation and deep, meaningful engagement that NWFF matters to you.  Also, of course, the hardworking staff: Brenan Chambers, Christopher Day, Vivian Hua, Jonah Kozlowski, Louie Romo, Amanda Salazar, Rana San, Elizabeth Shepherd and Paul Siple.

Here’s the deal, NWFF needs to raise $100,000 by January 15. Your financial support will help keep this hub of artists, film and media makers, activists and audiences thriving for another year. We understand that programming for community means relying on community support.
