Dawson City International Short Film Festival Producer
filmfest (at) kiac.ca

Yet another transplanted Ontarian, Dan attended the first Dawson City International Short Film Festival (2000) as a visiting filmmaker. Eight years later, after many return trips as KIAC Artist in Residence, ad hoc teacher and other sundry jobs, he and his partner Laurie moved here in 2007 to produce the film festival …  he may just stick around until he gets it right. Dan continues to thrive in obscurity as a filmmaker. Please add to his visitors count at www.sokcinema.ca.

After three stints as a summer transient she became an official Dawson citizen in 2013. She landed her first gig at KIAC as the Kids Art Camp Coordinator in 2012 and has been in and out of the office in a variety of roles since then. Taking on the shared role of Programs Manager in October 2018 she is happy to be back at KIAC for the long haul.
