Jaclyn Philpott has been named executive director of the Association of Film Commissioners International – a newly created post that she’ll assume on January 3.
As the new leader of the organization, she succeeds former AFCI President Eve Honthaner, who stepped down in September for personal reasons. “I am honored to be selected as AFCI’s new executive director and excited for the opportunity to work closely with our members across the world to build on the accomplishments of those who came before me.
The screen sector is at a turning point in history, and I see significant opportunities for growth and collaboration,” said Philpott, a native of New Zealand. “There is a Māori proverb that states, ‘He Waka Eke Noa,’ which translates into: ‘We are all in this together.
We rise together, fall together, work together and keep going together.'” In her new position, Philpott will relocate to Los Angeles where AFCI is headquartered, focusing on growing what is already the most geographically and culturally diverse membership roster in the organization’s nearly 50-year history.
