(Airdate: September 5, 2023) Maryanne interviews Danielle McClelland, Executive Director of the Port Townsend Film Festival. Dani’s family moved to Bellevue when she was a teen. After graduation from Lewis & Clark she became a chef who was also a passionate political activist. She wanted to “blend political activism with artistic expression.” She managed that — largely by running a historic theater in Indiana for close to 20 years. She left that just before the pandemic hit. She knew and loved Port Townsend and always wanted to move here. Her parents had retired here in the 1990s. In fact, after their deaths Dani and her brother inherited their house in PT. When she spotted an ad for the PT Film Fest she was thrilled to apply and ultimately land the position. Dani was here for the 2022 season but it was not running at full speed. This year’s festival should hopefully usher in full houses and fabulous films.
