Patrick Shepherd, Associate Director of Cleveland International Film Festival chats CIFF and Cleveland!

On this episode, Patrick Shepherd, the Associate Director of the
Cleveland International Film Festival (now heading into its 45th
year) swings by Happy Hour to discuss what it took for the
festival to change course at the last minute this year from
in-person screenings (as is typical) to only streaming due to
coronavirus pandemic shutdowns. He also chats about his history
with the festival, different programs they offer that go beyond
films seen on screen, and a glimpse into how the festival will
now operate in the future. That's not all though, as Patrick is
involved in multiple groups and one of the biggest supporters the
city of Cleveland has. He gives a background into what else he is
part of and of course goes off on what he hopes for the future
and loves about the city of Cleveland!
