CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
The Nashville Film Festival has become a cultural institution in Nashville and well-recognized internationally as one of the largest film festivals in the world. With ongoing systems and accountability in place,the organization of Nashville Film Festival is stronger than ever before. We have expanded our free film education program for public school students and are continuing our outreach community programs with the Living Reel At-Risk youth project, which has included partnerships with the Martha O'Bryan Center, Youth Villages, Preston Taylor Boys and Girls Club and Williamson County Alternative Learning Center. We are actively increasing the individual accountability among each of our board members and seeing greater engagement and increased diversity of our network of community partners. |
