Evan Koons Joins Compass; Mars Suddenly Explodes
To increase our alumni placement, we’ve recently hired writer Evan Koons as our new Industry Relations Coordinator.
“Evan undertakes tasks with great passion,” said Director of Finance and Administration Jill Postma. “He is energetic, driven, and sincere. He exemplifies our model of integrity and mentorship.” Evan’s role at Compass will be to keep his finger on the pulse of the film industry and to cultivate the relationships that yield placement opportunities for our alumni. On the flipside, he is also responsible for working with our alumni to prepare them for the entrance into the industry.
Evan is no stranger to Compass. He took the Academy 101 class in 2003 and worked as a Resident Artist from 2004-2006. He has written and produced a number of short films, and has taken an active role in mentoring students and other alumni.
Evan has also mentored a group of young home school students in filmmaking, some of whom entered this year’s 24 Hour Film Festival and made the top ten.
Evan is a graduate of Calvin College. He and his wife have a daughter, Jory.
