Join us March 27 at 7:30 pm for a one-time screening of a shorts film package that truly encapsulates the indie film spirit: Lunchfilm. Lunchfilm captures the raw, unpolished, independent spirit of DIY film ma king. This shorts package was instigated by former Sundance Film Festival programmer, Mike Plante. Mike purchases lunch for a filmmaker and that filmmaker in turn must make a film that not only address certain topics discussed during the the lunch, but must also be made with a budget that matches the meal tab. The result is a truly mixed-bag of cinematic expressions from the trenches by filmmakers ranging from Bobcat Golthwait to Naomi Uman.
NW filmmaker Randy Walker will be in attendance with his short Whiskeypriest #1 which features Portland musician Jeffrey “Chairman” Couch (see photo below) of the bands The Chair Project and Drats!!!, who will also be in attendance. If you’re tired of stale, predictable Hollywood fare, Lunchfilm is for you! A complete list of films in the package is below.
Screening is on March 27 at 7:30 pm.
