The Prescott Film Festival would not be in existence if not for a number of extraordinary volunteers who give fully of themselves each year. It pains us not to be able to highlight the contributions each individual brings to the success of the Festival, but are proud to present the extraordinary women who keep the VIP Director’s Loft running smoothly from morning to night. Their tireless dedication is most appreciated!
