And what I do is I help filmmakers get their films seen in film festivals around the world.
My podcast focuses on all things film festivals to help you learn more about this part of the film industry.
And my very special guest today is Heather Older, who has been the executive director and programmer for the McMinnville Short Film Festival since 2022.
She is an Oregon-based screenwriter and filmmaker, and her directorial debut, Cockroach, is currently touring the film festival circuit.
This festival has been recognized by MovieMaker Magazine as one of the 20 great film festivals in vacation destinations.
It is a filmmaker's festival with the key goal being to help filmmakers grow their network, and we love it here.
