Northwest Film Forum: "Will Screen Indie Films for Cash"

We were at the Northwest Film Forum last night--Throw Down Your Heart, the Béla Fleck banjo-across-Africa documentary ends tomorrow night--and executive director Lyall Bush came out with a tip jar, asking for $35,000. That sounds like a lot, but just a little while ago it was $70,000. So they are halfway, but August 15th is almost here. If you haven't given yet (suggested donation is actually $10, if you don't have the whole $35,000), think about donating or getting a membership.

while i love all film, i've only been to the NWFF a handful of times. however, something about their plea got to me and i gave $10 last week. really hope they reach their goal!

thanks! what is that he's holding, guacamole?!?

No idea! It hopped out of a garbage can and dug into whatever it is with gusto. Squirrels make dumpster-diving look so easy.

And considering that Sub Pop has stepped up to the plate to match all donations made since the 6th, you've now got twice as many reasons to give.
