The Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival (MVFF) has appointed Brian Ditchfield as its new artistic and executive director — taking over for former directors Hilary Dreyer and Thomas Bena, according to a press release.
Ditchfield, who has been with the film festival for 12 years, will pick up the torch as Dreyer moves on to pursue a career in philanthropy, and Bena heads off to pursue a new project of his.
