\n\tClaire Brooks has been named executive director of the Association of Film Commissioners International, a global network of film commission members better known as AFCI.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrooks will take helm of the organization on June 10. She succeeds Jaclyn Philpott, who was tapp<\/a>ed as the first AFCI executive director in 2022 and left earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the role, Brooks will prioritize growth, continuing expansion to include production companies, producers and service providers, among other groups. Its core membership remains film commissions across the world.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrooks will head the organization amid a tumultuous period in Hollywood, which is still recovering from dual strikes and is confronting industry contraction. In recent years, productions have increasingly prioritized securing subsidies as budgets are put under the microscope. This shift has recently prompted countries, including Japan, Australia and Thailand, to create or expand film and TV tax credit programs. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to join AFCI at such a complex and dynamic moment for the global screen industry,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cI look forward to building on the organization\u2019s legacy while expanding access and advocacy for film commissioners and storytellers around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMost recently, Brooks served as director of production at Stephanie Allain\u2019s Homegrown Pictures (The Woman in the Yard, Dear White People<\/em>), where she produced Exhibiting Forgiveness, <\/em>developed TV projects under a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Television and oversaw a film slate that included Otis & Zelma.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tBefore that, Brooks coordinated global marketing campaigns, including for The Lorax <\/em>and Despicable Me 2<\/em>, for Illumination Entertainment. She also served as global marketing specialist for the NBA and helped design Netflix\u2019s Emerging Filmmakers Initiative, where she produced studio-backed shorts helmed by rising directors.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cClaire brings a remarkable depth of experience across production and strategic partnerships,\u201d said Marnie Gee, AFCI Board Chair and BC Film Commissioner. \u201cHer global perspective is especially critical as AFCI continues to expand its international reach and foster cross-border collaboration within the screen sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
