Shawn Pucknell
Director
Shawn began his digital carreer as a Flash developer, back in the days of Flash 1. Somewhere along the way he started holding Flash Festivals, and now he does events full time. Flash, motion graphics, and some others, his life is now spent running FITC events around the globe. Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Seoul....and a few others.

Shawn was voted most likely to direct Blade Runner, the musical.

Erin Kelly
Director of Operations
As Director of Operations, Erin is the logistical wizard who turns a small idea into a big reality here at FITC. With Shawn as the resident dreamer, Erin becomes our realist, a dynamic that is crucial to making FITC the adventure that it is.

Rick Mason
Technical Director
All good teams need a tech guy to hold them together. Although known around the office as a geek, Rick prefers to think of himself as a code ninja, slicing and dicing lines of script into solutions to get the job done. By day he sits at his desk wielding the ColdFusion Sword of Speed and the Actionscript Axe of Power. By night he dons his Ninja Rss Suit to scour the web for anything related to making the web a better place for everyone.
But one mystery remains, the super secret ninja power of technical curation. Rick uses his ninja wisdom to compile the technical sessions at FITC events into comprehensive bodies of work for everyone to learn from. If you want to talk code at FITC you must safely navigate Rick's Path of Speaker Knowledge to make it on to the agenda.
At FITC events look for the guy with the massive beard, fixing the wifi or secretly honing his Rock Band skillz at the sponsor booths while he should actually be fixing something that's broken and you've probably found him.

Rick was voted most likely to wrestle a bear on a camping trip. Which he was able to do in the summer of 2008. Rick won. Without even breaking a sweat.

Lisa Walters,
Administrator of Awesome
How does one Administrate Awesome?  Lisa lays down the awesome in many parts of FITC. She manages all of our presenters by making sure they get to each event and are having a great time. She's also sometimes volunteer coordinator, sometimes registration manager - there are just too many things to count.
Treating each party like its 1999 and prohibition is about to start, at our events she is the one getting down with her bad self one minute and the friendly face helping you into a cab the next.  When back in the office, Lisa lurks around the internets researching every possible thing about the cities that FITC lays claim to and takes on event logistics wherever needed.
Lisa does what needs to be done, when it needs to be done and she makes it all look good under a cloak of spy-like mystery. (She made us add that last part. Lisa really wants to be a spy.)

Lisa was voted most likely to never wear pants and most likely to never show her true hair color. She's managed to do this for 20 something years now.

Jackie Brown
FITC Super-Star Photographer
Jackie wears blindingly-bright red sweaters and her favourite thing is to slap five's with fellow cyclists while in motion.

Jackie was voted most likely to have hand cramps and a DSLR glued to her right hand during FITC events.
