Keynote


I would pick Sami el Hadi as the keynote.  I really like that he’s international, which in my opinion would bring more people to our festival and conference. The accent doesn’t hurt either. Also, it’s cool to have a screenwriter as the keynote too.  This could draw students from other majors to be interested in it as well.  Another thing that is super exciting about this candidate is that he has been interning at Raindance for couple years now.  Bringing in that knowledge of film festivals could definitely be beneficial for us, and means that he is good in the festival setting. That being said, he seems to be well spoken and would do fine speaking in front of crowds.
