Burbank International
Film Festival

Beginning as an intern, Dustin Richardson worked personally with BIFF President, Kurt Patino, to brainstorm and create new content for the 2022 festival. Dustin took on several different projects under Media Relations. He created an entirely new website for BIFF, moving the domain from WordPress to a new Wix account and publishing it within 3 months. He created a new YouTube Channel and made original content and edited previously filmed event material and more for the channel, posting content regularly. He created several different graphics and images for the website, videos, and social media accounts, including banners, logos, thumbnails, and posts. He contributed to posting and marketing on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube consistently. And much more. ​

After the internship was finished, he was able to volunteer and stay a part of the team, working with President Kurt Patino and the Board of Directors to continue to create video content, manage the website, and promote the filmmakers and the festival taking place September of 2022. One of his latest ongoing projects with BIFF is hosting their new online interview series titled Reel Conversations, which he pitched, designed, and edits. His guests include amazing voices in the entertainment business, including Lew Bracker (Author of Jimmy & Me), Greg Sestero (Author of The Disaster Artist), Lawrence Grobel, (Author of Conversations With Brando, etc.) Greg Ruth (Artist and Author of Meadowlark, etc.), Alison Martino (Creator of Vintage Los Angeles), and Mimi Sarkisian (Actress from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest).
