Mattie Scariot, director of the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival (PJIFF), announced the addition of new board members Jon Fitzgerald and Tasja Kirkwood, marking a significant step towards the festival's upcoming 20th anniversary. Highlighted for their industry leadership, both newcomers are expected to enhance the festival's focus on vibrant community engagement and economic growth in filmmaking. This announcement coincides with the year-long celebration titled 'The Road to 20,' and signifies the festival's readiness to embrace new leadership and expand its vision in the film industry.
Known for its hospitality, networking and commitment to building a vibrant regional film hub that fuels local economic growth, bringing on these industry leaders demonstrates the festival's strong desire to continue its growth.
Bringing Jon and Tasja onto the board at this pivotal moment is incredibly exciting. As a festival director, I've admired Jon and his work for years-his leadership at some of the most respected festivals in the world is inspiring and aligns perfectly with our growing vision.
