For the 2020 Festival focused on Aging & Othering, Allison worked as Assistant Producer and Website
Designer & Developer. As Assistant Producer, she pre-screened over 200 film submissions and corresponded with filmmakers, jury
members, speakers, and festival participants in person, over email and over the
phone. The decision to move the Festival online in response to COVID-19
made it necessary for Allison to design and create the website in under two
weeks. Since then, she has maintained the website, including adding periodic
Special Offerings.
