PDX Short Docs is a platform for local independent filmmakers to show their short documentaries on the big screen. Film selections must feature a story from the Portland area or be 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 next PDX Short Docs in Portland will be at the historic Hollywood Theatre on Sunday, April 26, 2020! Stay tuned for details.
If you missed the PDX Short Docs program at The Clinton Street Theater in September, it will be screening at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita, OR on Friday, January 24, 2020! |

Canopy Stories is a collaborative film anthology that highlights the talent, perspective, and artistic vision of twelve Portland area filmmakers. Each filmmaker has selected a specific tree to tell a story about human relationships to nature and the city. The diversity of the stories and the trees do not reflect a singular editorial voice or vision. Rather, the individual films emphasize the many ways in which humans relate to urban trees. My contribution to the anthology is entitled "One Magnificent Maple." |

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. |
