Nantucket Film Festival Appoints Amazon Alum Marc Resteghini as Board Chair, Adds LuckyChap Partner Milan Popelka

The Nantucket Film Festival, which emphasized screenwriting and storytelling for its 31st annual edition, said Marc Resteghini will lead its board after earlier this week’s wrap of the festival on the Massachusetts island.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

The Nantucket Film Festival has named Marc Resteghini, an executive producer known for work on Young Sherlock and a former Amazon Studios executive, to chair its board as the festival completed its 31st annual edition on Nantucket this week, according to Deadline.

Resteghini succeeds Kathleen Matthews as board chair, the outlet reported, as the organization transitioned leadership after the close of the festival’s programming. The festival’s stated focus is screenwriting and storytelling, and it draws participants and attention centered on writers and narrative craft, according to Deadline’s description of the event.

Deadline also reported that Milan Popelka, a partner at LuckyChap, was appointed to “top board posts” alongside the board leadership changes. The outlet did not specify additional titles in the provided summary, but it described Popelka’s Luckychap role as part of the board’s updated leadership lineup.

The leadership shake-up comes immediately after the festival wrapped earlier this week on the island off the Massachusetts coast, Deadline said. The festival’s timing places the board appointments as part of an end-of-year transition rather than a mid-festival adjustment, meaning the new leadership begins the post-festival cycle that typically follows a completed slate of events and screenings.

For Resteghini, the appointment reflects his industry background bridging creative production and studio operations, as Deadline described him as an Amazon Studios alum and as an executive producer on Young Sherlock. For Popelka, Deadline tied her board role to LuckyChap, a company associated with development and production work in film and television.

The appointments also highlight the festival’s approach to governance, drawing board members from major entertainment and production networks while keeping the festival’s programming centered on narrative writing and storytelling. Deadline’s reporting framed the changes as part of the festival’s operational and leadership structure following the conclusion of its 31st annual edition.

Nantucket Film Festival officials were not described further in the provided summary, including the precise start date for the new leadership terms. Additional details about the board roles and responsibilities for Popelka’s “top board posts” were also not included in the material.

The festival’s leadership roster changes will likely be reflected in public-facing materials, including governance listings and festival program documentation for the next cycle, after the organization completes its current post-festival administrative work, Deadline indicated through its account of the leadership transition.

Why It Matters

  • Board leadership changes typically affect how arts festivals plan staffing, programming priorities, and institutional partnerships in the next operating cycle.
  • The appointments bring entertainment industry experience from studio and production backgrounds into festival governance, which can shape relationships with writers, producers, and screen-oriented organizations.
  • The timing of the transition after the 31st annual wrap means the new leadership begins with post-festival planning rather than during active programming.
  • Named board members with studio and production ties may influence how the festival engages with major media platforms and talent pipelines, particularly for screenwriting-focused initiatives.
