Film Festival Planning for Bold, Purpose-Driven Events
Want to host a film event that does more than entertain? I help plan film festivals that challenge the status quo, elevate bold ideas, and give your community something to talk about long after the credits roll.
One of my proudest projects was bringing Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour to the Indianapolis Art Center—a first for the city. This wasn’t just a screening; it was a movement. Partnering with Jennifer Helms, an MBA from Northwestern and former COO of the Yosemite Institute, we curated an evening of transformative cinema that turned a profit and gave it back—to Friends of the White River, a group advocating for one of Indiana’s most vital natural resources.
That’s the kind of work I’m drawn to: projects that cut through the noise, spark conversation, and actually do some good. With over 30 years in advertising—including two national ADDYs and an AIGA award—I bring both creativity and strategy to the table. I offer milestone-based pricing based on the hourly rate you see above so your vision stays on track and on budget.
Whether you're a school, nonprofit, outdoor retailer, or rebel with a cause, I can help you:
Source meaningful, mission-aligned films
Coordinate with tour programs like Mountainfilm
Handle venue logistics and promotions
Curate panel discussions and interactive elements
Turn a cultural event into a catalyst for change
