Bio
Caitlin Boyle has served for more than fifteen years as a leading expert in the use of film as a tool for amplifying social good and inspiring civic engagement.
A specialist in navigating film distribution alongside social impact efforts, Caitlin has provided strategic guidance to more than 500 independent film teams, and worked with collaborators and clients including Together Films, DOC NYC, Cinereach, Odyssey Impact, Level Forward, Sundance Institute, Common Pictures, NEON, Magnolia Films, Patagonia, Timberland, and The Climate Pledge.
She participates regularly as a mentor and guest speaker for arts organizations and educational institutions, including The Gotham, Berkeley Film Foundation, Chicken & Egg Pictures, The Fledgling Fund, Film Independent, Impact Partners, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Filmshop and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
Caitlin is also the Executive Director of the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival (MNFF) in Middlebury, Vermont, where she supports the festival's decade-long mission to promote and exhibit the dynamic efforts of emerging filmmakers. The festival takes place annually in August in downtown Middlebury, Vermont, and exclusively features the work of first- and second-time filmmakers.
Caitlin’s past work has also included roles as both Director of Filmmaker Development and Director of Industry at DOC NYC, America’s largest documentary festival, and, for ten years, Founder and Executive Director of Film Sprout, which pioneered the use of grassroots and campus networks to broaden the audience and social impact of independent film.
After a dozen years in New York City, she now lives in rural Vermont with her family.
