ALL THE LITTLE THINGS (2012)
DIRECTOR: JEFF STREICH
Premiers Thursday, January 31st at 7:00pm at Whitsell Auditorium, Portland Art Museum (1219 SW Park Avenue) in Portland. Buy Tickets.
For his feature-length directorial debut, Academy Award-nominated cinematographer (and 2010 Oregon Media Arts Fellow) Jeff Streich turns to a local story. In 2003, 18-year-old Mount Hood Community College freshman Ben Cramer—described by those who knew him as soft-spoken and “extraordinarily ordinary”—was sentenced to life for the grisly murder of his friend, Cassondra Brown.
EOFF2013 is the fourth annual Eastern Oregon Film Festival held in La Grande, OregonFebruary 28th – March 2nd, 2013. EOFF features an amazing line-up of emerging independent feature and short films. The festival opens with Only The Young, an intimate portrait of three enigmatic teenagers searching for love, friendship, and skate parks. The film somehow manages to capture the fly-on-the-wall perspective of a documentary, with the aesthetic of a patiently and beautifully shot narrative film. Friday night ends with War Witch (Rebelle), the incredibly unique and powerful 2013 Academy Award nominated ‘Best Foreign Language Film’.
Birds of Neptune, written and directed by Steven Richter (Center of Gravity, Myth of Drowning), is an independent feature film set in Portland, OR, produced by Reverie PDX and Lara Cuddy (The Weather Outside, Cell Count), and scheduled for release in fall 2013.
Birds of Neptune follows a short period of time in the young lives of two orphaned sisters who refuse to move on from their complicated, tragic past into their adult lives.

We were truly blown away by the amount of people that showed up on Tuesday and honestly not prepared for the possibility of filling the theater. I hear we had to turn away nearly a hundred people in Portland. Luckily the team that provided the video services for the night at PSU (thank you Brian) recorded the event. We did not have permission to provide all the clips that were shown Tuesday night but if you want to hear what everyone had to say watch it here on Vimeo.
