The Art Directors Guild has elected a new slate of executive board officers, and for the first time in the union’s history, the top-ranking four are all women.
In a vote that took place over mail in March and April, the members of the IATSE-affiliated union chose Not Dead Yet and Corporate production designer Dina Lipton to be their president, with current president Nelson Coates vacating the role after eight and a half years. Senior set designer Kristen Davis (A Friend of the Family, Monster) was appointed vice president and supervising art director Helen Harwell (Monster, Fargo) was elected as treasurer. Art director and senior set designer Judy Cosgrove (Loot, The Offer) was re-elected as secretary. These executive officers’ terms, which will last three years, begin on June 1.

Directed by: Lisa Leeman
Written by: Cristina Colissimo and Lisa Leeman
Starring: Flora the elephant, David Balding, Carol Buckley, Laura Balding and Willie Theison
Ten years in the making, Lisa Leeman’s documentary first crosses paths with an African elephant named Flora and her keeper David Balding in 2000. Flora has been the namesake and centerpiece of Balding’s St. Louis circus for 16 years. But she’s a teenager now and doesn’t enjoy performing anymore and, frankly, is getting to be a bit much to handle. When we meet her, she’s merely mischievous, playfully interrupting an on-camera interview with Balding. But one gleans from his slightly exasperated tone that this is everyday behavior for an animal he considers his daughter.
Concerned that maybe he didn’t do right by Flora by adopting her, and feeling guilty for keeping her from socializing with other elephants,...

Who is Flora? She is an African elephant born in Zimbabwe who lost her mother and family to then-legal cullting. She was captured and relocated to the United States where she was purchased by an elephant broker.
The story of Flora documented in "One Lucky Elephant," which premieres at the Los Angeles Film Festival on Saturday (June 19) begins when circus owner David Balding, who became Flora's guardian and surrogate father for 18 years, realizes that it's time for Flora to retire from circus life to be with other elephants.
In 2001, Ahali Elephants was formed in 2001 and they acquired Flora, who was first moved from David's circus to Miami's MetroZoo, where she could be with other African elephants.
Flora resided in Miami for nearly two (not exactly trouble-free) years, while Ahali Elephant searched the world for the best elephant-retirement home. In 2004, a 300-acre sanctuary for Asian elephants in Tennessee added 2,700 acres for a separate African elephant area.
