Can't wait for opening night later today for the Camden International Film Festival. 19th edition! The weather looks quite different this year but for a inside look at the festival experience here's an article I wrote for the International Documentary Association's Documentary Magazine after the 2018 festival. A bit about my own journey with CIFF, the magic of the festival environment + location, and some favorite moments along the way.

"Opening night is one of my favorite moments of the festival; it gathers and centers everyone for the weekend to come. In the early days, we were happy when just the ground floor filled up. Now, there are secondary locations screening the film at a staggered start time to be able to accommodate everyone."

The CIFF Experience: A Dispatch from Camden and Points North For 14 years, the fall season has meant, for me, the Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) in Camden, Rockport and Rockland, Maine—three picturesque small towns nestled between the mountains and the sea, just 17 miles south of where I grew up.

Have you recently emerged from a strategic planning process, significantly shifted your business or service delivery model, or simply outgrown your existing brand messaging?

These are all be great moments to invest the time and resources in an updated set of core brand and organizational tools: your mission, why, vision, values and beliefs. Build clarity, cohesion and impact both through the process and with the resulting suite of tools.
