Festival Producer: Jackie Brennan
Lover of Film, Art, Books, Nature, and Animals….
I have a background in the Theater and worked with the Little Traverse Theater Company in Michigan for many years before returning to my Colorado home. I started my career as an Occupational Therapist while also engaging adult clients and children in meaningful activities to help with recovery from injuries and disabilities.
I have now lived in Lyons, Colorado for over 30 years and continue to work as a therapist. I love the Lyons community and the artistic and creative spirit that prevails here. I have continued with my love of the arts by joining in with the Colorado Festival Productions Team. It all started five years ago in Lyons and I took on the role of social media coordinator. We now have 5 film festivals along the Front Range of Colorado. I am happy now to also take on the role as Producer of the Lyons International Film Festival.
Lyons is my home and I hope to grow the Lyons Film Festival and all it can offer in support of Lyons and the arts community..
