Ep 8: Shannon Haines, Maine International Film Festival Director

Producer — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:02:54 +0000

Shannon Haines is gearing up for her 13th Maine International Film Festival as festival director, and has seen a cinema community sprout in otherwise sleepy Waterville over her time. We recount why MIFF is and will be a Waterville staple, what the festival means to the community, and why you should probably think about buying a ticket or two. We also discuss how Shannon, who is not a film maker, and didn’t study film, has grown MIFF’s success by basing it on community.
