Earlier today, we announced the Special Presentations and Features line-up for Nantucket Film Festival, where I serve as Film Program Director. I’m excited to share the program finally – its curation has been a labor of love these past few months. This year’s festival, taking place June 24-29, is our 20th anniversary! We’ll follow up with announcements about our Shorts programming and live Signature Programs in the coming weeks.
