Notes from the Director:
The First PDX African American Film Festival is in the record books, and we have started work on next year's independent film program. It is an honor to be both a long-time resident of Portland, Oregon (Mount Olivet Baptist Church, NE 1st and Schuyler; Boise Elementary School; Irvington Elementary School; and Grant High School), and to share my passion for film. As the founder and director of the PDX African American Film Festival, my goal is to work with the Portland film community and nationally renowned filmmakers to bring some of the best filmmakers and educators to Portland. Along with our Feature Films, we will present our young people's film festival, consisting of up-and-coming young talents from around the country; we have titled that segment "Show Me What You Got, Kid" Festival.
One last thought: This is about the Portland film community, and we would love to have your input. Oh---and we're always looking for volunteers.
See you in the balcony.
Sincerely,
Ron Craig - Executive Director
