2023 NatureTrack Film Festival Updates

The NTFF team is so excited to bring our festival to Goleta for the first year. We can’t wait to have another great year of sharing our passion for nature with you all! Don’t worry, Los Olivos residents, we are soon announcing a special event to follow the festival  a little closer to home.

We are welcoming some new members to our festival planning team in 2023. We have new Festival Directors, Mitchka Saberi and Francisco Lopez, and a new Development Director, Gareth Kelly! Mitchka and Francisco are UCSB alumni and currently both work in the film industry. They met Gareth when he produced one of their short films. Gareth is also a Santa Barbara local and filmmaker himself. They are more than excited to be joining the NTFF team!
