The second episode of the new season of the Film Festival Secrets podcast! See getmoresecrets.com to learn how you can listen in on future recordings. Many thanks to Seed&Spark and FilmFreeway for their early support of the podcast's new season. Joining me this week are Kenny Blank, Executive Director of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival and Shellie Schmals, AJFF's Program Manager. We explore the special challenges faced by Jewish and other niche festivals, the adventurous side of the Festival's programming tastes, and why filmmakers with "non-Jewish" films should care about events like AJFF.
