Meet PIFVA's New Coordinator
Soon you'll be hearing a lot from newly hired
PIFVA Coordinator Yvonne
Jones. She has worked as a Jane-of-Many-
Trades for filmmakers and film organizations including:
documentary filmmakers David Byrne and Michael
Moore, the Neighborhood Film and Video
Project, the Philadelphia Festival of World
Cinema, PIFVA (in the late 1990s), the
Philadelphia Film Society, Scribe Video
Center, and the Sundance Film Festival.
When she's not wrangling all things PIFVA, you
can find her trying to finish a comedy spec script by
summer's end and producing the soon-to-debut
SoundTrek Audio Walking Tours series.
Give Yvonne a call at the PIFVA office (215-717-
6464) or Mondays through Fridays from 12 to
4pm or drop her a line via
e-mail with all your questions and concerns.
