PDX Short Docs is a platform for local independent filmmakers to show their short documentaries on the big screen. Included films feature a story from the Portland area or are produced by local filmmakers (or both). The 2-hour screenings are followed by Q&A sessions with the filmmakers, where the art of documentary filmmaking and the issues facing Portland are discussed. 
The latest PDX Short Docs program is currently available online thanks to the Hollywood Theatre! All proceeds from the $5 ticket price go to this beloved pillar of the Portland film community. The films will be online through Thursday, August 6th. Enjoy!

Current Project:I'm currently in production on a feature-length documentary chronicling the 40th anniversary season of Portland Gay Men's Chorus. Of course COVID-19 has thrown a wrench in their season. I've been documenting how the chorus is coping with quarantine. They've actually created something really special in spite of the situation. From their respective homes, more than 70 PGMC members took part in a virtual season in which they created an inspiring rendition of David Bowie's "Under Pressure" - check it out!

Woodblock Chocolate - I created this video for the Smartphone Storytelling Challenge sponsored by Muse Storytelling based in Portland, Oregon. The video was shot completely with my iPhone 6s! I put the whole thing together in less that two days to meet the challenge deadline. It was a fun little project, and guess what... ...I won! |

p:ear - This is a short film about a non-profit in Portland, Oregon that mentors homeless and transitional youth. p:ear, which is a acronym for project: education, arts, and recreation, provides these young people with a sense of hope and a place where they feel like they belong. p:ear offers a number of life-enriching programs, but I chose to focus on their music and arts program for this piece. |
