About Us
This festival is brought to you by concerned citizens
living on the north shore of Massachusetts who joined together with
the common goal of increasing awareness about our environment. Our
committee consists of businessmen and women, school teachers, stay
at home moms, CEOs, retirees, restaurateurs, grass roots activists,
designers, professional tennis players, entrepreneurs, landscape
gardeners, college students, artists, and computer geeks all wanting
to protect our health and our earth.

The Eco Film Festival is produced by Lisa Lillelund of Mango Networks,
Inc. Lisa is a recent convert to environmental activism and started
writing a newspaper column on the environment in January 2007. The
festival was created as a fun way to increase awareness about our
environment. The prognosis for the future does not have to be all
doom and gloom and while alone we often feel powerless, together
we can generate positive momentum and encourage change. We will help
make it cool to be green! Alone Lisa could only have dreamed
of such an event, but with the help and many hours volunteered by
the committee members, this event is a reality. We look forward to
sharing with you a weekend of learning and enjoying each other's
company.
