🍿 Meet the Crew: Festival Producer & Social Media Producer

Trinity Love plays such an important role before, during, and after festival weekend.

🕛 Before the fest, she organizes the incredible team of volunteers who make our time at the theater run smoothly. She also produces social media content and digital marketing materials.

🕡 During the fest, she provides on-site social media support and is part of our weekend media crew. She photographs, films, edits, posts and more.

🕘 After the fest, she keeps our social feeds fed and fun. She makes us look so good!

🙏 Thanks for all you do, Trinity!

🍿 Meet the Crew: Program Director & Festival Photographer

Connor Isner can be spotted most often behind his camera at the Mtn Craft Film Festival, capturing moments as they happen and preserving our memories each year.

But, in preparation for the festival, he’s still hard at work watching all the submitted films and creating our jam-packed schedule for the weekend.

Without him, we’d fall apart (and have no photos to prove it).
