Meet Our Fearless Team

There are countless people who make Indy Film Fest what it is. At the core of that group stands a team of people who believe in the unifying power of film—and they dedicate an unbelievable number of hours to prove that commitment. From late nights screening films to being the last ones to turn off the lights after an event, the Indy Film Fest would be nothing without our committed and talented board, staff, and volunteers.
