FILM FESTIVAL NEWS: Film Festival Alliance names regional film fest stalwart Lela Meadow-Conner as Executive Director

Meadow-Conner is beloved and widely recognized on the regional film festival circuit as both a take-charge leader, and a “glue” person that can fill in all gaps and bring an organization’s team together. Successes at the very popular Tallgrass Film Festival for years established her reputation, which has only been burnished by yeoman work she did at this year’s Bentonville Film Festival helping it achieve one of its most successful outings yet, as well as consulting for the Woods Hole Film Festival, and her ongoing work with FFA.
