Yesterday, the official word went out to the general public: Mountainfilm has hired David Holbrooke as the new festival director. Not wasting any time, David is already in the office and cranking hard for next year’s festival. If you’re on our emailing list, this news is already old news (that’s soooo yesterday). If not, check out this link for more details, and go here to get added to our online community.

Exactly six months from today, the 30th Mountainfilm festival will be over. In the meantime, the staff is extremely excited to welcome David to our humble main street office. (Unfortunately, the desk we picked out for him was a wee bit small…his knees are knocking the middle drawer. We’re told this isn’t our fault; it’s a common problem for 6 feet 6 inches tall David. Drew, our new tour staff member, doesn’t have the same problem.)

Regular MF Blog readers may have noticed some recent updates to the web site. Today, we are officially launching our new title: The Conversation. MF will always be our favorite acronym for the festival, but after a year of on-again off-again postings we are ready to take this blog to a new level.

We’ve already started by folding the Mountainfilm on Tour blog “On the Road” in with this one, and in the coming months we’ll be inviting guest bloggers to be a part of the conversation by posting updates and stories from all corners of the world. We expect the first guest blog post shortly after the new year. We’d also like to invite you, the readers, to join in the conversation by posting comments (naughty or nice, we welcome them alike) whenever you feel moved.
