Linda’s passion for film as a catalyst for community began when she started volunteering for the festival in 1994. During the following seven years, she served the festival in various capacities, including Programming chair and Operations chair, before being hired as the first executive director of the organization in 2001. Linda has led the organization through a period of tremendous growth and today RMWF has an active year-round presence.

Karen Walldorf
