In the midst of a successful business career, Juliet Goodfriend learned of plans to convert the 1926 Bryn Mawr Theater into a fitness club. She promptly enlisted the support of regional leaders and began a four-year campaign to save the theater as a cultural resource for the community. Thanks to Juliet’s vision and resourcefulness, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute has become one of the nation’s premiere art house movie theaters and film education centers.

Ms. Goodfriend’s remarkable business career dates back to the 1960s in the pharmaceutical industry. In 1979 she founded Strategic Marketing Corporation, which eventually became one of the largest global custommarketing research and consulting firms for pharmaceutical companies. After selling Strategic Marketing Corporation in 1999, Ms. Goodfriend created the Good Friend Group and Foundation in 2002 to provide consulting resources for entrepreneurial and community ventures.

In the process of saving the Bryn Mawr Theater, Ms. Goodfriend, the Founder and President of BMFI, developed great knowledge of the film and theater industries. She became an avid film enthusiast who appreciates how an understanding of film making enhances the viewing experience. Juliet will talk about the making of BMFI, the fascinating world of the film industry, and her own ideas about understanding and appreciating film.

The Wayne Art Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching our community through the arts.
