Welcome New Board Members!

Encircle Films is pleased to announce Eva Osirus and Jessica Medaille joining our board of directors.

Eva is a creative working out of Eugene, Oregon. She serves as the executive assistant at the NAACP, treasurer of the Black Cultural Initiative, advisory director at Back2Youth, and producer at her multi-media business Sirius Rising LLC. Her background is in classical music, film, healing arts, literature, and art.

Jessica was the chief membership officer and senior advisor at ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) in Eugene for almost 15 years. She recently retired, and loves having more time for volunteer activities, reading, gardening, enjoying live music, and daily hikes (all of which help to balance her over-consumption of current news and politics). Proud mom of two great adult kids, Jessica lives with husband Paul, their 2 greyhounds, and a cat.
