Description
Ridgefield Independent Film Festival Festival Founder and Director, Joanne Hudson, will talk about her experience collaborating with an entire town to create and build a community film festival, which has become a leader in the CT Film Festival Circuit. RIFF will celebrate its milestone 10th anniversary in spring of 2025.
Joanne Hudson is a playwright and director whose plays have been commissioned, developed and produced nationally and internationally. As a Fulbright Scholar in creative writing, Hudson traveled to Iceland to write a play about a scientist who loses her ethics and finds her humanity. The play is titled “unbidden,” and is now included in the literature of the Westmann Islands. Hudson holds an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia University School of the Arts. She founded the Ridgefield Independent Film Festival in 2015 with the hope of making the world a more compassionate place by sharing stories through cinema.
