Linda Pianigiani is an award-winning filmmaker and photographer as well as an organ builder and woodworker.

She hails from Italy, and after more than a decade in film development and production, working on all kinds of films, from blockbusters to Emmy Award-nominated documentaries, she transitioned to managing programs and partnerships in the nonprofit sector.

Her introduction to Hollywood Food Coalition started back in 2015, when she began as a volunteer on the line and eventually moved to the kitchen shifts, putting her love for food to work for a great cause. She joined the board of directors in 2017 and, in 2022, stepped down to enthusiastically join HoFoCo’s staff.

As Director of Development and Communications, Linda builds out the organization’s fundraising strategies, oversees events, and develops corporate engagement strategy. She also develops external communication, marketing, and content strategies.
