About
Something strange looms in the virtual world. In this multi-episode live event series presented by North Bend Film Fest and Northwest Film Forum, emerging storytellers recount peculiar tales and bizarre happenings based on their own real life experiences. Each episode features a strange new theme challenging storytellers to win over the audience with their storytelling skills. This special NIGHTSTREAM Edition is comprised of Audience Choice winners from prior episodes!
This virtual event series is hosted by Seattle-based storyteller, comedian and weirdo Emmett Montgomery — NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Seattle Weekly’s Best Comedian 2015, 2017, 2018 and host and curator of the community based “comedy” show Joketellers Union (with Brett Hamil) and the experimental basement/storytelling show The Magic Hat.
NIGHTSTREAM Edition theme: UNEARTHLY. Whether it’s contact with otherworldly beings or a brief moment of untethered existence, history abounds with tales of mysterious happenings that have pushed humans to question everything. These stories will center around the nearly supernatural moments in which we are able to peek behind the curtain of our perceived reality.
