CHUG-A-LUG

I am not a fan of beer.  I can stand to drink Red Stripe or Grolsch, but that’s pretty much my limit.  My husband is a home brewer.  Don’t you just love the contradiction?  I have learned to love the smell of beer, but after 13 years, I still haven’t developed a taste for it.  If you’re a beer lover, you have extra motivation to enter the next Call.  Portland has over 30 breweries INSIDE the city limits.  Cheers…

Check out this Call for Entries from POWFest!  Here’s a great chance to have your work in film showcased in Portland, OR.  You can enter for as little as $20 if you make the early deadline, but even the late deadline is only $35. Take a chance!

*Editor’s Note:  I know that MOST of you are not film makers or video artists.  So, why am I posting this Call?  I want to encourage you to consider the experimental short category.  Use YOUR media to make an experimental short.  You can borrow a video camera… you know you can.  It is a great project, and it will help you see your work through fresh eyes.  It could be a new start for you.  Take a look…
