“Patrick’s Story” at Breckenridge Festival of Film

Breckenridge Festival of Film recognizes local filmmaker’s doc ‘Patrick’s Story’


Another Oregon documentary is making waves on the film-festival circuit.

Martin Vavra’s doc “Patrick’s Story” has been accepted into Colorado’s Breckenridge Festival of Film.

“Patrick’s Story” follows a gay man, Patrick, who was removed from a Portland hospital as his partner lay dying.

Vavra explores what the word “marriage” means in our culture — taking a powerful look at the social confusion associated with registered domestic partnership rights.

Another Vavra project, “The Last Stand” — a zombie-apocalypse Web series filmed in Portland — recently won three awards at the LA Web Fest. “The Last Stand” has been distributed by three other Web sites and translated into three other languages. It will soon be available on Hulu and Netflix.

Established in 1981, the Breckenridge Festival of Film ( http://www.breckfilmfest.com ) is one of the oldest film festivals in the country. Breckenridge 2011 runs Thursday-Sunday, June 9-11 — featuring 56 independent dramas, comedies, documentaries and big-picture premieres.

Vavra is available for interviews.
