Since 2004, Kerrie LONG has managed the daily duties required to produce a film festival – raising funds, grant writing, sponsorship, leading the production and programming teams, working with the EIFFS volunteer Board of Directors, balancing the budget, the list goes on – all while multiplying life by the power of two, being a Mom, a Kookum, a Wife, and an Auntie. In her previous life, Kerrie was a writer and producer with ACCESS Television and a freelance Producer/Production Manager with many television credits. She grew up in Vegreville, Alberta, daughter of dairy farmers.
“EIFF films I still think about are WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY (2006) and LUCKY (2017).”
