Homegrown DocFest April 23, 2010

On Friday, April 23 at 8:00 p.m. at the Mission Theater, all-new locally-made documentaries will hit the big screen. NW Documentary’s “Homegrown DocFest” will feature films produced during Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Documentary workshop. These quirky, enlightening and endearing short documentary films will introduce a host of colorful, local characters and topics, including a yoga poet, the owner-workers of the Red & Black Café, Heavy Metal Bowlers, and cave explorers.

Filmmaker Q&As and the release of the 2010 Summer Catalog of NW Documentary workshops follow the screening. The NW Documentary workshops offer locals the training to create their very own short documentaries. Participants research, write, direct, shoot and edit their original creative audiovisual works. Summer term begins in June–enrollment currently open.

NW Documentary is a 501c3 non-profit that tells untold stories, teaches others to tell their stories, and brings community together in the sharing of significant non-fiction stories.
