Leah Byrne
Family Friendly Manager (P/T)

I first started at Arts About Manchester in July 2004 as a fill in for the Marketing Distribution Assistant and never quite managed to leave… Now, as Family Friendly Manager, I oversee the Family Friendly goings on here, including managing the Family Friendly website and delivering the Family Friendly Film Festival.

Prior to life at AAM, I graduated from the University of Sussex with a BA in English Literature and Media Studies, then moved to Canada where I worked as Volunteer Co-ordinator for Sprockets Childrens’ Film Festival, part of the Toronto International Film Festival Group, and in the art department for a film production company.

Whilst working for AAM I have also worked in various roles around marketing, press and project management for Xtrax, the Commonwealth Film Festival, Future Shorts, Birds Eye View Film Festival, London.
