Nantucket gets new captain
The Nantucket Film Festival has tapped fest vet Colin Stanfield as its new exec director, replacing Jill Burkhart who will move to chair the org's Board of Directors. Stanfield produced the 2005 AFI Silverdocs fest and managed international programs for Gotham's IFP. Stanfield will immediately start prepping the island's summer fest -- running June 18-22 -- which focuses on screenwriters with screenings, panels, and readings. Last year, the annual Screenwriters Tribute honored Judd Apatow.
Nantucket Film Festival runs June 18-22.
