Bio
Fay Darmawi is a film festival producer, community development banker, and urban planner committed to using all forms of storytelling and media to achieve social justice. She is the Founder and Executive Producer of the SF Urban Film Fest, a film festival focused on civic engagement inspired by great storytelling. SF Urban Film Fest was awarded a two-year artist in residency at YBCA, and most recently, a BAVC Media Reel Stories award. Her 25-years of experience as a leader in affordable housing finance, including managing the low income housing tax credit platform for Silicon Valley Bank, as well as 5-years of screenwriting training, informs her media-related work. Fay’s formal urbanist training is from M.I.T. and the University of Pennsylvania but her love of cities is from her childhood growing-up in the epicenter of Jakarta, Indonesia. She is a mother of twin adult sons who continue to be her inspiration.
