AsianFilmFest Dallas

ALT The Asian Film Festival of Dallas was deeply saddened by the passing of David Gibson late last week. When someone as special as David leaves there's a huge hole left behind, like the bottom dropping out of the world. He was everyone's favorite, including ours and he was the best of us. For a decade, from 2009 to 2019, David was a key member of our film festival. He started as the Membership Director and then served as the festival’s Programming Director for six years, while also serving as the Director of Operations during this time. While he was with AFFD, he was the perpetually positive core of our team. He didn’t simply share a love and appreciation of Asian film with our board, members, and film fans, but he also brought such a welcoming friendly spirit to everything. He became the truest ambassador for AFFD. We missed him when he left the organization in 2019 due to greater work and church responsibilities, and now we are devastated that our dear friend is gone.
