This year at the Democratic and Republican conventions, Jamie Shor, Jody Arlington, and I produced the Impact Film Festival (IFF). Together with programming director Rachel Goslins, we screened socially-themed narrative and documentary films for audiences in Denver and St. Paul and were fortunate to have the following directors in attendance: Stefan Forbes (Boogieman), Susan Koch (Kicking It), Mary Lambert (14 Women), Tia Lesson and Carl Deal (Trouble the Water), Jessica Gerstle (Accidental Advocate), Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (The Blacklist), Irena Salina (FLOW), Stuart Townsend (Battle in Seattle), and Patrick Creadon – with his timely I.O.U.S.A.
