Will Valet
Tipton, Iowa, United States
Indie Warrior
Will Valet is just a small-town boy, born and raised in eastern Iowa—an editor and PR professional by day and film festival director and married father of four at night. He works for an education nonprofit and directs the Hardacre Film Festival, Iowa's longest-running indie film festival. The Hardacre Film Festival has brought independent film to Iowa moviegoers for 16 years, and Will is working to ensure that its namesake—the Hardacre Theater—survives to bring films and entertainment to Tipton.
