Dear Friends, Filmmakers, Supporters, and
Sponsors of the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival,

As the COVID-19 situation evolves in California, the Poppy Jasper Board and the entire PJIFF Festival Team have made the difficult decision not to hold the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival in April as we had planned. We are very sorry to have to make this decision, but given the increasing spread of the virus in Santa Clara County, the need to keep our audiences and volunteers safe requires that we cancel all Festival events planned for April 1-8, 2020.

We are considering what alternative arrangements may be possible in future months to share the wonderful films, panel discussions, and other events that were planned, and to honor and celebrate the filmmakers and community heroes that deserve their time in the spotlight. When the possibilities become clear, we will let you know. We will provide options for current ticket holders.

Though this disruption is distressing and disappointing, PJIFF will continue, and we look forward to seeing you at future events that we hope to announce soon. We thank you for your continued support and wish you good health.

Best wishes,
L. Mattock Scariot
Festival Director
The Board of Poppy Jasper, Inc.
