Pronounced KAY-LA (like LA LA LAND), Kailla MacLELLAN’s journey with EIFF also began as a volunteer, then in 2014, opportunity knocked, and she stepped through the door. Kailla tackles all the ‘less glamorous’ work – front of house, signage, set dressing, filmmaker needs, financial reporting, the list goes on. Her previous experience in scheduling with various Security companies and her love of numbers makes her a wizard on the Excel front and with a background in film production, she’s our double-feature. Whether on-set, or in an office, in pre-production, ZOOM’ing or on the ground, Kailla is the one person who is completely calm, smiling, and prepared for whichever way the world wants to tilt on any given day.
