• Why no mention that she left her post as Artistic Director of AFI Fest, along with the other top posts when AFI cut the budget? I would think this would have been a big factor in her hiring.

• Manus was despised by the NYC film community and made a series of costly mistakes that hurt the organization and alienated it’s members and board of directors. Good luck to Kuo, she has tiny shoes to fill.

• Rose was also Director of the AFI Film Festival for the past 3 years and is a well respected, seasoned film festival professional. (She’s also a very nice, very knowledgable film buff). Congrats Rose!

• We wish Rose Kuo a rich and productive experience at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. As a long-time projectionist associated with the NYFF since the early 1980s, we foresee the digital media changes coming that Rose will be dealing with. But we all know that story is the driving element and direction and acting the tools that make the story into great cinema. Congratulations and best wishes to Rose Kuo.
