pow fest

The person on the right in the picture above is my third degree to Kevin Bacon.  She's the sister of my housemate and an actress/director (who's been in movie with Kevin Bacon, shortening my degrees of separation from him significantly).  Tonight, she made her Portland directorial debut as Portland Oregon Women's film fest hosted some film shorts made by women from Portland.  Bonnie's piece was called Sissy and was one of the most intense pieces of the evening.  I also loved Trolls, an adorable little piece about two kids trying to figure out what sex is.

I hate art school film showings but this was professional work and was a pleasure to watch.  There was only one piece that left me looking at my watch and I can't even recall it right now because the others were so good.  I think I may make it a point to check out more professional film shorts.
