Gerald Gay is digital content producer who comes from the world of print journalism where he spent two decades covering life in Tucson for the Arizona Daily Star before joining the KGUN 9 team.

With 45 full-length and short film programs, there is no shortage of things you can watch and enjoy at this year's Loft Film Fest.

"I didn't anticipate it being a problem since we are a smaller festival," Yanc said."To get one actor, the director of the film was able to get a waiver from the Screen Actors Guild so they could both come. It was really complicated. I never had to navigate that before." "When you have guests, the guests dictate what films you are going to show," Yanc said."With fewer guests, we were able to book more local films."Yanc said several films that don't have direct connections to Tucson will have live panels with local participants to speak on themes and topics.
