As one of the most well recognised and well regarded film critics in Australia, we are very proud to have as our Patron, Margeret Pomeranz. Margeret was awarded the Australia Medal for her services to the film industry as a critic and reviewer, promoter of Australian content and advocate for freedom of expression in film. Margeret has been extremely encouraging throughout the embryonic stage of the festival.

Similarly, the world renowned Director of Photography Don McAlpine is also a Patron of Coasties Film Festival. In 2009 Don was the first Australian Director of Photography to be awarded the International Achievement Award from the American Society of Cinematographers.
