About the moderator:
Johnny DiLoretto, Gateway Film Center:
Director of Communications at the Gateway Film Center, Johnny DiLoretto is a megalomaniacal, Columbus media personality who, in addition, to his devotion to the Gateway Film Center, is also devoted to plastering his face across the film center’s screens whenever possible (see Columbusland). Johnny is also a self-loathing neurotic who hates writing his own bio.
