For one night only, Northwest Film Forum transforms into a PARTY ON SET!
Filmmakers: partake in all the fun parts of making movies with none of the crack-of-dawn call times! Not a filmmaker? Experience first hand that special blend of filmmaker camaraderie, uncapped creativity and hare-brained ideas just crazy enough to work.
Jump into a live table read (please bring your friend with the Herzog impression), belt karaoke in front of a green screen, and ham it up with hand-puppets. Think of it as a selfie sandbox of epic DIY proportions. With a live DJ soundtrack, Lagunitas brewskies, interactive art, and wardrobe changes, this set will be anything but quiet.
Footage from the festivities will be cut into a collectively crafted Forum short film starring YOU, to premiere at closing night.
Smartphones rolling? ACTION!
