EXCLUSIVE: Rick Peréz has announced his intention to resign as executive director of the International Documentary Association, with word coming just days before the organization’s signature annual event, the IDA Awards, Deadline has learned exclusively.

The surprise announcement came during a meeting with staff late Monday, a gathering that included IDA personnel both in-person and virtually.

His resignation takes effect December 23, Peréz said. “Rick thanked the staff for their work and acknowledged the difficulties as well as successes during the past year and a half as executive director, but that the challenges of leading a changing organization, during and post-pandemic, have weighed on him,” an IDA spokesperson told Deadline. “Ultimately, he decided his work was done and that he wanted to return to filmmaking, and working with directors, producers, and others as well as creating film projects, his true passion.

He announced that his last day will be December 23.” The IDA announced that non-profit veteran Ken Ikeda will serve as interim executive director.
