“It took many, many sleepless nights to make this festival happen, but what keeps me going are the moments when I hear from an artist I’ve long admired, or a new filmmaker sharing their work for the first time, saying they believe in what we’re building.” #rebekahshermanmyntti
Jo Rosenthal (@justjorosenthal ) sat down with Rebekah Sherman-Myntti (@______rsm______ ) to talk about what inspired her to launch the iconic Downtown Festival, how the film festival has grown, and what keeps her coming back with a new vision and purpose, year after year.
