Lynette has served as the Festival’s graphic designer since its inception. The Fargo Film Festival is proud to reveal the official cover art for the 2022 Festival.
Festival Director Emily Beck says, ““Lynette Triebwasser has enriched every Fargo Film Festival with her unique artistry, creative mind, and exquisite sense of style. We are deeply grateful for her contributions to the FFF and proud to feature her as our 2022 Cover Artist.”
