Happy Birthday Film Lovers!
We have cooked
up quite a feast
of inspiration and
insight to celebrate
15 years of movie
magic in Port
Townsend. The
honor of hosting
John Sayles and
Maggie Renzi as our Special Guests is
truly the icing on this birthday cake.
What began with a dream, an outdoor
screen crafted from sheets of plywood and
a theatre in the community center gymnasium, has blossomed into a year-round
opportunity for audiences and filmmakers
to connect with each other.
PTFF now has 10,000 seats available in
six indoor venues and our outdoor theatre
on Taylor Street with straw-bale seats
under the stars.
Ask any kid who grew up in Port
Townsend and they will tell you all about
our outdoor movies.
We welcome best-selling author Dan
J. Brown with a film, Breaking Away,
that shaped his writing. Screening over
80 new films from 25 countries, we will
feature 55 film professionals sharing their
expertise in filmmaker panels and at Q &
A conversations following their films. We
also welcome renowned fashion writer Ari
Seth Cohen, New York blogger for Huffington Post, with the soon-to-be-released
film Advanced Style.
Our festival is fueled by more than 100
business sponsors and nearly 300 volunteers who lend us their energy and talents
to make this celebration possible. Watch
for the red hats and black hats that say
PTFF (thanks, Honey Toad Studio) and
take a minute to thank them. Most will
never see a movie this weekend – they’ll
be working to make sure your time with us
is grand.
Janette Force
Executive Director
Welcome to the
15th Annual Port
Townsend Film
Festival. I am
celebrating my
6th Anniversary
as programming
director and I
can attest to my
continued interest,
excitement and
enthusiasm for
ALL the films we
have discovered this year. True stories and
fictional tales that will make you laugh, cry,
think, try something new, feel moved to take
action, or to simply entertain. If you feel
what I feel watching these films….that is
indeed the BEST reward! Thank you again
for entrusting me with this work that I love!
See you at the movies!
Jane Julian
Programming Director
Welcome!
On behalf of the City
of Port Townsend, it
is my great pleasure
to welcome you to
the 15th annual Port
Townsend Film Festival. We take pride
in our incomparable
natural setting and
historic neighborhoods, our maritime heritage, our lively arts and music scene and
vibrant local businesses, and we love to
share them. We are often both patrons and
volunteers at the festival, and the queue
manager at one showing may be standing
next to you in line at another. It’s what we
do. So welcome to our home. Glad you
could make it. It’s wonderful to see you.
Sincerely,
David King
Mayor
This festival is
dedicated to
Jim Ewing
It is with gratitude and sorrow that we
dedicate the 15th Annual Port Townsend
Film Festival to one of our founders and
a true visionary; Jim Ewing. Jim was passionate about art and community and fully
committed to the idea that a film festival
would enhance this beautiful place that
we call home. Jim, in addition to imagining this festival, served on our board of
directors for a decade. His understanding
of the essential conversations that happen while we stand in line at film festivals
led him to create the software that prints
our festival passes with your first name in
the largest type – so you can greet your
fellow film lovers by first name. We will
carry his passion for film and love for our
community into all the work we do for the
Port Townsend Film Festival.

HOW TO FEST
HOW TO SEE THE FILM
OF YOUR CHOICE
60 minutes before showtime: Go to the
venue of your choice, show your pass
and pick up a numbered ticket. These are
distributed on a first-come, first-served
basis and guarantee you a seat. Once you
have your ticket, you may leave the line
until 30 minutes before showtime, at which
time you will line up with other moviegoers
according to your ticket number.
How the fun
begins…
Pick up or purchase your pass at the Hospitality Center – located at the Cotton Building,
607 Water St. (see map on the back page).

com/Festival/Passes.html for full details
and a link to purchase passes.
30 minutes before showtime: The numbered ticketholder line starts to move into
the theater. If you have a numbered ticket
and the line has already started to move
when you return to the venue, you’re still
guaranteed a seat. If you can’t find your
numbered place in line, you simply join at
the back. Directors and Moguls – look for
2014 PTFF
the theater manager, who will direct you to
your chosen seat reserved for you by the
concierge.
Latecomers: If you show up after the
30-minute deadline with your pass but
don’t have a numbered ticket, or you are a
Director or Mogul passholder who has not
reserved a ticket via our concierge service,
go immediately to the theater manager to
see if there’s availability. If the house is
sold out, there will be time to get to a different venue and still get a seat for another
great film.
Rush Tickets $12 : When a theatre
doesn’t fill up with passholders, we sell
tickets for that film. Rush-ticket buyers
gather in the rush-ticket line. Once the
passholder line starts moving, the theater
managers know exactly how many seats
are available. Rush tickets are sold 10
minutes before the movie begins until the
lights go down.

SPECIAL EVENTS
2014 PTFF
Celebrating Film
Professionals
From blog to book, and now an inspiring
documentary, Advanced Style (see page
24) became an international phenomenon,
and it is certain to please audiences in Port
Townsend.
John Sayles and Maggie Renzi are our
honored special guests. Partners in work
and in life, they have created more than 15
films together: Renzi as a producer (and
actress), and Sayles as a writer, director
and editor. Beginning with Return of the
Secaucus Seven (1980), John Sayles’
films have been integral to the development
of independent film in the United States,
depicting a very different world from the version offered by Hollywood.
Daniel James Brown is a
full-time writer and bestselling author of Boys in the
Boat. He is presenting one
of his favorite films, Breaking Away (see page 15), in
PTFF’s Formative Film series. Following the screening on Saturday,
Sept. 20, he will be available to sign books
at the Writers’ Workshoppe, 820 Water St.
Jon Gann, founder of DC Shorts, author,
filmmaker, executive director
of CINE and longtime friend
of PTFF, joins us with his
favorite short films, the WA
2 WA Shorts Program (see
page 36). Gann has given
presentations at more than
100 universities, film organizations and
film festivals worldwide, and has spoken at
the International Film Festival Summit and
TEDxWDC.
Ari Seth Cohen is the
creator of Advanced Style,
a blog devoted “to capturing the sartorial savvy of the
senior set.” His first book
was published in 2012 and
is now in its seventh printing.
Robert Horton is a film critic
for Seattle Weekly and The
Everett Herald and a longtime
contributor to Film Comment.
He curates the Magic Lantern
film discussion program
at the Frye Art Museum,
teaches film at Seattle University, is on the
Fulbright Specialist Program roster, and
serves as a guest speaker for Smithsonian Journeys and Humanities Washington.
Horton has been master of ceremonies and
interviewer for PTFF since the beginning.
He will be interviewing John Sayles in “A
Very Special Evening with John Sayles”
at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Northwest
Maritime Center.
Local filmmakers John
Gussman and
Jessica Plumb
will present
the Northwest
premiere of Return of the River (see page
27) on Opening Night at the Rose Theatre.
Their four-year filmmaking journey highlights the tireless dedication of the Lower
Elwha Klallam Tribe and local landowners, and visionary community action.
The screening is presented in honor of
Russ Busch, activist, attorney and lover of
the Elwha River.
Lynn Shelton, raised in
Seattle, has made a name
for herself as a director,
as well as an actress and
producer. Her films have
premiered at Sundance,
screened at Cannes, South
by Southwest, Seattle International Film
Festival, and been distributed by Magnolia
Pictures. Her newest film, Laggies (see
page 17), opens here at PTFF thanks to
A24 Films.
Formative Film with
Daniel James Brown:
Breaking Away
Saturday, 3:30 p.m., Rose Theatre
Breaking Away (see page 15) was
selected by Daniel James Brown, author
of The Boys in the Boat, a current national
best-seller, as his formative film for PTFF.
The 1979 movie, based on a true event,
is number eight on the American Film
Institute’s list of 100 Most Inspirational
Movies. According to Brown, the one word
for choosing this slightly obscure film would
be “heart.” The film is about four young
men in the small college town of Bloomington, Indiana. They are “cutters,” members
of families that work or used to work in
Bloomington’s ancient quarry. College and
high achievement are neither expected of
nor assumed possible for them. Each man
develops a different method of breaking
away from those perceptions. The corollaries between The Boys in the Boat and
Breaking Away are many. In Brown’s
book, young men from rural Washington
state come together to compete in a sport
dominated by “fraternity men.” They beat
the privileged competition and go on to
beat the world at the 1936 Olympics while
Adolf Hitler watches. In this film, as in all of
Brown’s three books of nonfiction, the common element is the manner in which the
human heart, not skill or talent or station
in life, is the determining factor in whom
we become. His books also shine a light
on those single moments or events in our
lives that define us for a lifetime – such as
a bicycle race in Indiana or rowing for the
gold medal in Hitler’s Germany. (By Peter
Quinn from The Writers’ Workshoppe)

2014 PTFF
A Very Special Evening
with John Sayles: Lone Star
Saturday, 6:30 p.m., Northwest Maritime Center
PTFF is thrilled to welcome writerdirector-editor John Sayles. Creator of
a richly diverse filmography alongside
his partner and producer, Maggie Renzi,
he is a legend in the studio system and
has greatly helped define the meaning of
independent film.
RR: What’s next on your calendar?
JS: Honestly, I’m trying to write myself
out of the economic hole that movies and
self-financing and the distribution of your
movies always puts you in. It’s very rare
for filmmakers [to make money]. Most
filmmakers don’t make money and if you
self-finance it’s rare you even make your
money back, much less make a profit.
Sayles is the auteur of 18 award-winning
features including Passion Fish, The Secret of Roan Inish, and Honeydripper.
Saturday 6:30 p.m. at the Maritime Center
will be “A Very Special Evening with John
Sayles” featuring his Academy award
nominated Lone Star (see page 18).
Sayles was interviewed by
Rebecca Redshaw, journalist and a
long-time friend of PTFF.
HHH
RR: The film process has changed
totally since you started going from
16mm to 35mm and now to digital
video. Are you enjoying the change in
the process? Do you miss film?
JS: I don’t necessarily miss film. Digital
video has certainly given a huge shot in
the arm to documentary filmmakers. They
used to have to stop and put out a hat in
hand and beg for more footage. A huge
part of their budget was film stock and developing film and they had to develop everything since they didn’t know what they
had. So, for low budget filmmakers I think
it’s great. And if you can afford to have
more than one camera, you can shoot
two angles, which used to be prohibitive
for a low budget filmmaker. It’s really in
the last 15 -20 years that filmmaking has
democratized incredibly. When I started
it was almost impossible for somebody
outside of the mainstream with a reasonable budget to make a feature. Now the
Sundance Film Festival gets over 2000
feature films a year – most by first or
second time filmmakers.
we can’t afford that. But you’re getting to
work with really talented people who can
do things that you can’t do, who have
ideas that you can use, that you wouldn’t
necessarily have. There is that great thing
of collaboration with all the, as you said,
“chaos” and practical problems and the
hope is that you’re going to end up with a
movie that’s a better experience than just
reading the screenplay. You’re not trying
to live up to the screenplay, you’re trying
to do better than that – get 120% out of it.
Whereas, in a book it’s basically just you
and, you know, a typewriter.
Matt Carr Photography
RR: How do you reconcile the joy of
the solitary life of a novelist with the
chaos of the film set? Do you have a
preference?
What I’m doing now is writing probably a
half dozen things for different people, not
for myself. I’ve got three or four movies
that I’ve written that I’d like to make but
over the years I’ve not been able to raise
money. As often is the case, I have no
idea if I’ll get to direct anything again, but
that’s the life of an independent filmmaker.
JS: It’s not so much a preference. It’s
just that fiction is something you can do
without raising money first – without digging too deeply into your pocket. I’d say
the difference for me as a storyteller is
that in fiction you can be God. If you want
the sun to shine, you say the sun is shining. You want the Bay of Pigs invasion
you can do the tanks and the planes, you
just have to describe it well. On the other
hand, it’s just you. An editor from a publisher may come in very late in the game
but really it’s just you.
RR: When are you the happiest? At the
completion of a script? The completion of the film? After the final cut?
In making a movie you have all these
practical concerns, as Haskell Wexler
[cinematographer] would say, “There are
no problems, only opportunities.”
Advertising isn’t that much fun and
fundraising is really not fun. But I’ve been
really lucky to make a living having stuff
that I like to do.
Sometimes there are problems and
limitations and stuff like that you have to
worry about. Say we have 5000 soldiers
in a shot. Do we see their feet? ‘Cause
now we need 5000 pairs of boots and
JS: I like the work itself. I like writing. I
really like working with actors and crew.
Working with all those creative people.
Seeing what they’d come up with and
giving them a chance to throw down interesting parts. That’s a lot of it. I really enjoy
the process. Honestly, if I could hire an
actor to go around and do all the publicity,
so I could stay home and do other stuff,
I’d do it, but it’s all part of the job.

SPECIAL EVENTS 2014 PTFF
What the Heck does a Producer Do?
With Maggie Renzi: Honeydripper
Sunday, 3:30 p.m., Northwest Maritime Center
Maggie Renzi has been John Sayles’
creative partner since 1978 and has produced nearly all of his films. Maggie will
present the film Honeydripper (see page
17) and talk about the work of a producer
in “What the Heck does a Producer do?”
this Sunday, 3:30 p.m. at the Northwest
Maritime Center.
Local journalist and friend of PTFF,
Rebecca Redshaw will also be interviewing her onstage this Sunday.
Office Space
HHH
RR: What is the strongest advice you
could give to someone who says, “I
think I’ll be a producer”?
MR: I’d say it’s one of the best jobs
available for women in the film business.
So many categories are still closed to
women but producing is open to us and
we’re very good at it, I think [due to] that
multi-tasking female brain. You have to
hope that you can deliver what the director wants and still make everyone feel
that they’re being listened to as well. It’s
suited me so well and given me such an
interesting life.
RR: Would you be making more
pictures if money was more readily
available?
MR: Sure. Absolutely. I’m feeling more
and more like that shouldn’t be the job of
a producer. I’m tired of living in a country
that cares so little about the arts that we
don’t afford our filmmakers and other
artists the dignity that artists have come
to expect in other countries. We have
no international trade agreements, no
co-production agreements for film and
everyone else does. And we have no film
funds. That’s not good enough and that’s
why I resent how insistent we are on the
DIY model for filmmaking.
How did it go from being an art and a
business to being all the way back to
“hey, kids let’s put on a show, my dad’s
got a barn” and that’s crazy. And crazy for
me, because I’m looking at a filmmaker
who we talk about as the godfather of
American independent cinema and he
should not be having to scramble for
money and making movies for under a
million dollars.
RR: You and John have paid your
dues. You have made very good films
over a long period of time. Why do you
have to keep proving yourselves?
MR: And what does it say about us down
the road? How will there be filmmakers
like John, who in their maturity get to
make the films about life or whatever that
he made later on? How often will we get
filmmakers that get to go beyond their
second or third film? And how will we
invite more people to this conversation?
How will we get the kind of diversity? How
will we get more female directors and directors of color? How will we get all those
voices if everybody has to keep coming
up with their personal money? Or do it by
celebrity?

The Secret of
Roan Inish
Director: John Sayles
johnsaylesblog.com
Friday, 7:30 p.m.,
Taylor Street Outdoor Theatre
After her mother’s death, 10-year-old Fiona
is sent to live with her grandparents in a
small fishing village on the western coast of
Ireland. Years earlier, on the day her family
prepared to leave their ancestral home on
the nearby island of Roan Inish, her baby
brother Jamie was swept out to sea in a
cradle shaped like a boat. Hearing tales of
recent sightings of a wild, naked boy accompanied by gulls and seals, Fiona sets
her mind to find him. And then there’s the
local legend of the Selkie – a seal who can
turn into a woman – said to be the provenance of the ‘dark ones’ in her own family.
John Sayles’ only “kids’ movie” is a tale of
Celtic magical realism that has a depth and
emotional pull that can be enjoyed by all
generations. The award-winning creators
John Sayles and Maggie Renzi will introduce this film.
The Black
Stallion
Annie Hall
Director: Woody Allen
Director: Carroll Ballard
Sunday, 7:30 p.m.,
Taylor Street Outdoor Theatre
While traveling with his father, young
Alec becomes fascinated by a mysterious
Arabian stallion that is brought on board
and stabled on the ship on which he is
sailing. When the ship sinks, both he and
the horse survive only to be stranded on a
deserted island. Alec befriends the horse,
so when finally rescued, both return to his
home where they soon meet Henry Dailey, a once successful trainer. Together
they begin training “The Black” to race
against the fastest horses in the world.
Writer-director-actor Woody Allen is in
prime form in this celebrated comedy in
which he portrays a neurotic, highly insecure and indecisive comedy writer who
falls head over heels in love with a naive
small-town girl who aspires to be a singer.
The opening rounds of their relationship
involve every romantic cliché (hilariously re-created by Allen). And despite
having moved in together, his insecurities get the best of him as he interprets
her every move as rejection. While her
self-confidence grows, his progressively
fades. Can this oddball romance survive?
Does Diane Keaton’s costuming change
fashion forever?

Juliette Binoche plays Rebecca, one of the
world’s top war photojournalists, capturing
dangerous and chilling images in the most
dire landscapes, all in an effort to shed light
on the real cost of modern war. But she’s
also a wife and mother, leaving behind a
husband and two young daughters every
time she travels to a new combat zone.
After a near-death experience chronicling
the ritual of a female suicide bomber, husband Marcus levels an ultimatum: give up
the dangerous profession or lose the family
she counts on being there when she returns
from each assignment. Yet the conviction
that her photos can make a difference
keeps pulling at Rebecca’s resolve, making it difficult for her to walk away entirely.
With an offer to photograph a refugee
camp in Kenya, a place allegedly so safe
that daughter Steph is allowed to join her,
Rebecca comes face to face with just how
much she risks each time she steps back
into the fray.

At the lowest point of his life, Richie gets
a call from his estranged sister, asking him to look after his eleven-year-old
niece, Sophia, for a few hours. Richie
cancels his grim plan, and picks Sophia

befriends “the beast” the local farmers
are convinced is killing their sheep – an

quickly becomes the boy’s best friend
and protector. As Nazis in the village root
out resistance fighters helping Jewish
refugees cross the border, Belle and Sebastian’s loyalty – to each other and the
village that’s embraced them both – will
be put to the test.

II. Liberated, they moved to France to
begin a new life together. Anne’s research

This rock’n roll fable recounts the night

piano man Tyrone Purvis is faced with
having to shut down his juke joint or bring

He arranges to book the famous (and

But when the New Orleans sensation is a

to take his place – if only ‘til the lights go

Lone Star
Director: John Sayles

Saturday, 6:30 p.m.,
Northwest Maritime Center
John Sayles’ cross-cultural murder mystery
explores interpersonal and interracial tensions in Rio County, Texas. Sheriff Sam
Deeds (Chris Cooper) is called to investigate the discovery of a skeleton buried in
the desert. He is drawn deeper into dark
secrets held on both sides of the border
when the trail leads to his now-deceased
father, local legend and former sheriff
Buddy Deeds, whom he grew to hate. Sam
puzzles over the mystery and rekindles a
romance with his old high-school flame.
Meanwhile, an Army colonel who is losing
his faith in the military (Joe Morton) has
to confront his own, still-breathing father.
Deftly interweaving the present and the era
of the killing, communities and characters
thought to live merely parallel lives are
brought face-to-face as the plot draws to
its startling finish. Cooper and Morton are
supported by Matthew McConaughey, Kris
Kristofferson, Elizabeth Peña and Frances
McDormand. Sayles’ most widely-seen
film (which garnered his second Academy
Award nomination for Best Screenplay) is
frequently taught in film courses as well as
American Studies and other disciplines.

Funny, feisty, courageous and Irish, Christina Noble leaves behind an extraordinary
life story. But the best is yet to come. In
1989, 14 years after the end of the war,
Christina lands in Vietnam, “a country
that she wouldn’t be able to show you on
a map.” With a few dollars, a dream and
her own hard-won abilities, she is about
to change everything, for hundreds of
thousands of people. S
hifting between
past and present, the film concentrates on
Christina’s strength of character as she
uses music and humor to pursue a seemingly impossible dream, always following
her motto that “a little insane goes a long
way.” After her own tough and deprived
past, she goes on to help over 700,000
street children on the other side of the
world. Noble is the inspirational, true
story of a woman who believes that it only
takes one person to make a difference.
And of how she is proved right.

life literally doesn’t go beyond his family’s

who becomes romantically involved with
his about-to-retire and very-married uncle.
As Walter tries to thwart their romance
in order to ensure his future, he finds his
circumscribed life thrown off kilter. After
years of being undermined by his family

his full potential. With Sally’s help, Walter

strikes a tense alliance with Limun, a Serbian crime boss. His fiancée demands an
extravagant wedding that only struggling
gay theater director Mirko and his friends

reluctantly agrees to provide security for
the group’s Pride parade. It’s a tall order:
previous attempts to march were met with

When Limun’s gang balks at the assignment, he recruits a band of former Balkan

From her childhood bedroom in the Chicago suburbs, an American teenage girl
uses social media to help coordinate the
revolution in Syria. Armed with Facebook,
Twitter, Skype and camera phones, she
coordinates for Aous, a dental student in
Damascus who braves snipers and arrest
to organize protests for freedom; and for
Bassel, a film student at Syracuse University who left his Fulbright Scholarship to
film protests and show the world what state
television won’t broadcast. As the revolution rages on and the violence continues,
everyone in the network must choose which
weapon is the most powerful in toppling a
dictator: social media or AK-47s. Because
of the media blackouts in Syria, all footage
shot in Syria for this film was smuggled out
on hard drives over the course of the first
18 months of the revolution.

In 2008, photographer Ari Seth Cohen
started a blog, Advanced Style, “inspired
by the incredibly dressed, vital and active
seniors I saw walking around New York
City.” From the instant Cohen first meets
these vibrant characters on the streets of
New York, it is evident they are destined for
fame. This inspiring documentary examines the lives of seven unique New Yorkers
ages 62 to 95 whose eclectic personal style
and vital spirit have guided their approach
to aging. These women offer their unique
perspectives on overcoming life’s obstacles
with style and grace, proving that age is
merely a state a mind. Advanced Style
paints colorful, intimate portraits of independent, stylish women who are challenging
conventional ideas about beauty, growing

Over time, the statues grow coral and

This is the story of a river unleashed after
a century of captivity and the extraordinary
community effort to set it free. The Elwha
River in Washington state is the ancestral
home of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe,
which witnessed firsthand the impact of two
dams on the river and its legendary fish
runs. The film captures the tenacity of individuals who would not give up on the river,
mirroring the tenacity of salmon headed
upstream to spawn. It is a narrative with
global ramifications, exploring the complex
relationship between communities and the
environment that sustains them. The Elwha
River is currently the nation’s largest restoration project, with a price tag of more than
$300 million, and the largest dam removal
project in history. The film explores an
unlikely victory for environmental justice, offering hope amid grim environmental news.

Who was General Tso? And why do

The origins of Chinese-American food are
traced through what is arguably America’s

chicken. Using this Americanized dish and
its mysterious mastermind as a lens onto a
larger story of immigration, adaptation and
innovation, the film is a lighthearted journey,
grounded in cultural and culinary history,
through restaurants, Chinatowns and the
American imagination. Visits to presentday Chinese restaurants spark forays into
the past, guided by chefs, scholars and
the occasional opinionated customer. The
film’s lively soundtrack and shadow-puppet

Edward Abbey’s anarchistic spirit and

guide the nascent environmental movement of the seventies and eighties. Direct
action and civil disobedience grew in
popularity as exemplified by EarthFirst!.
With tree-spiking, forest occupation and
high-profile publicity stunts such as painting a crack on the Glen Canyon Dam, this
group became the eventual target of FBI
infiltrators, leading to the arrest of various
members. Through interviews, archival
footage and reenactments, this documentary captures the outrage of Abbey’s
friends who were the original ecowarriors.
In defense of wilderness, these early
activists pioneered monkey-wrenching, a
radical blueprint for “wrenching the system.” Abbey’s message lives on.

Hang onto your hats, your seats, open your hearts and revel in the exploits of others,
as in “Let’s get Mikey to do it!” Skiers going fast enough to make their faces distort; a
girl surfing in northern Norway – brrr; a 14-year-old climbing phenomenon; a little Wes
Anderson escapade; something clever with push pins; and beautifully surreal landscapes in China for more climbing challenges. And don’t duck out before the hilarious,
risqué finale … just sayin’ – Bonzai!
A Girl Named Elastika
Director:
Guillaume Blanchet
Elastika is not like any

film, and one-third storybook wandering
into the unknown, The Fortune Wild is
a beautiful and slightly eccentric look at
what makes the West Coast so priceless
and so worthy of protection. “The film is
a homage to Wes Anderson; I always
wished he would make a surf film,” says
director Ben Gulliver.

a five-hour descent into a 2,000-foot-deep

Poster Artist
Seattle-born Anne
Schreivogl is
a full-time artist whose work
has been widely
shown around the
Pacific Northwest.
“My inspiration
came from a few
sources. First, after attending last year’s
Festival, I felt the community’s enthusiasm for film. I wanted to combine both
the love of film with the fun and funkiness
of Port Townsend. Second, I sketched
behind-the-scenes on a film set (the set
of producer Wilson Large). The room was
abuzz with the orchestration of so many
elements. I hoped to capture a sense of
this energy and movement, and yet keep
a simplicity of subject. Finally, my last
name, Schreivogl, means ‘screeching
bird’ and often birds fly into my art. In this
case they settled in on the sign, ready to
take up their roles proudly, as commentators on it all.” For more info about her
work, visit www.schreivogl.com. Stop by
Simon Mace Gallery at 236 Taylor Street
to see her work.
