🎬 Meet Our Edufest 2025 Closing Keynote Speaker! 📚

We’re beyond excited to announce that Samantha Silva—acclaimed author and screenwriter—will be closing out Edufest 2025 with an unforgettable keynote! 🌟

Based in Idaho, Samantha has sold film projects to Paramount, Universal, and New Line Cinema. She’s the author of Love and Fury: A Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mr. Dickens and His Carol, which she adapted for the stage in its world premiere at Seattle Repertory Theater in 2022. 🎭

Her talents don’t stop there—her short film The Big Burn premiered at the Sun Valley Film Festival, and her literary works have appeared in One Story and LitHub. A proud Idaho Commission on the Arts Literary Fellow (2020) and Bread Loaf Fellow (2022), Samantha’s storytelling is as rich as her global experiences, from London to Rome. 🌍✍️
