Brenda Robinson Named Acting President of Film Independent as Eric d’Arbeloff Becomes Acting Board Chair (EXCLUSIVE)


Film Independent has named Brenda Robinson acting president, while board vice chair Eric d’Arbeloff will fill her role as acting board chair.

Following the passing of its longtime president Josh Welsh on Dec. 31, Film Independent has established interim leadership changes as it begins a search for a new executive to lead the organization. Robinson, a “recovering entertainment attorney,” as she puts it, first became involved with the organization 12 years ago, starting out as a member in the Arts Circle community. It’s not that we ever saw ourselves that way, but we know that there are growth opportunities both nationally and internationally,” she adds, mentioning cities like New York, Chicago and Miami as key markets where FIND could increase its presence.
