Howdy! I'm head of @SundanceFest & public programming at @sundanceorg | Former head @TheNYFF, publisher @FilmComment, SVP at @FilmLinc & founder of @Indiewire
It’s a Wrap for @sundanceorg #DirectorsLab in Estes Park, Colorado at The Stanley Hotel. The Lab was full of great learning, a joyful community & was a huge success on all levels. Best of all, we supported an exemplary group of Fellows w/ unique voices & original stories!
We’re just starting up our Directors Lab today at The Stanley Hotel in beautiful Estes Park! Our fantastic crew and operational staff have been here for the past week and have done a tremendous job getting us ready for our 9 Directors arriving today to workshop their scenes.

Sad to report that I and all Outfest staff have been let go from the organization. Amazed that it's come to this. Forever grateful for the team I was able to work with the past four years. Lots of talented folks now looking for work, so reach out with opportunities!
