Ifilm.com Shuffles Management Team

Ifilm.com, one of the front-running Internet film sites, announced a shuffling of its management team last week.

Kevin Wendle, one of the first investors in the company, was named chief executive officer. Wendle was a co-founder of CNET and a member of the original management team at Fox Broadcasting Corp. He replaces Skip Paul, a former MCA Inc. executive who will become chairman of Ifilm.

Company officials said the change reflects Wendle’s interest in joining the company full-time as an executive. Paul said he will continue to play an active role in the company, and described Wendle as “my partner.”

Los Angeles-based Ifilm is one of about a dozen Internet sites airing short films and animations. It is also developing online resources for film professionals.
