Sundance Veteran John Cooper Joins Northern California’s True West Film Center as Artistic Director


Former Sundance director John Cooper has been tapped as the True West Film Center's new artistic director in Healdsburg, Calif.

Cooper’s position comes as the True West Film Center prepares to move to the James Redford Campus with a three-screen cinema and educational spaces opening this summer in Healdsburg, Calif., the historic wine country town north of San Francisco. As we look toward opening our cinemas and expanding our programs to serve more Sonoma County residents than ever before, I am thrilled that we will do so with the benefit of Cooper’s deep experience and well-honed creative instincts.” During his time there, he launched the Art House Convergence and led the festival’s expansion of satellite events in New York, Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong.
