Meet the founders of the Napa Valley StreamFest, the four-day celebration of film, live podcasts, series and digital culture in the heart of Napa Valley.
Fearon DeWeese, the former Experience Director for the Napa Valley Film Festival, and Juliana Folk, a multi-hyphenate creator, have ditched the “Old Hollywood” model to embrace Next Gen storytelling with the Napa Valley StreamFest.
Kicking off its second year this April, Napa Valley StreamFest is the answer to a rapidly changing media landscape. Instead of racing between theaters, StreamFest is a curated, variety show experience which blends everything from indie films to viral TikToks and podcasts into one weekend binge. The inaugural festival last year honored Jason Segel and Diane Warren, premiered Jay Duplass’ The Baltimorons to the West Coast, hosted an exclusive taping of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, and much more.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Napa without the wine. The festival is partnered with the region’s premier vineyards and will be pouring the finest varietals all weekend while leading industry tastemakers decode this new media landscape.
