UPDATE: The video release has been postponed due to the current state of our nation regarding back lives. I will update again with the new release date when it is set.

The video that I edited for is premiering soon on their page. This is the most elaborate video I've ever worked on. Stay tuned!

Coming Friday: Our first virtual performance!

PGMC will be launching our "Bridging the Gap" fundraising campaign on Friday beginning at 1:00pm PST with the release of our very first virtual video performance. It's a song that perfectly captures how we all feel during this chaotic time. This amazing performance was made possible through the collaboration of more than 70 members of the Portland Gay Men's Chorus, working together while forced to separate (plus a whole lot of technology).

Set your alarms to tune into the PGMC page at 1:00pm to watch this amazing performance. Don't miss it!

Twelve Filmmakers Tell the Stories of Portland’s Leafy Ceiling in Canopy Stories

Portland peeps! You have one more chance to see part 2 of Canopy Stories tonight at the Whitsell Auditorium. You like trees, right?

No urban tree is an accident, environmental historian David-Paul Hedberg would tell us, especially in Stumptown.

Natasha's Voice

I'm finally getting around to posting links to a few of the films that I screened at the last PDX Short Docs.

Now, at 29, she uses various forms of Assistive Technology to lead an active social life and aspires to help others with disabilities learn to speak for themselves.
