Tuesday night, me and a bunch of cooler, hipper people, packed into the Northwest Film Forum for the launch party of a fundraising campaign for Reckless Spirits, a very funny short film from 2022 that the filmmakers hope to turn into a feature film in the future. Directed by former NWFF executive director Vee Hua 華婷婷, the film is billed as “A gender-fluid Latine performance artist and a neurotic Asian American therapist are led by a series of uncanny circumstances into a world of chakras, spirits, and a fanatic cult leader.”

Local Sightings started off another stellar fest this weekend
This weekend saw the kickoff of Seattle’s 27th Local Sightings Film Festival ten-day run September 20th – September 29th. Hosted at Northwest Film Forum (and online), it showcases the best and brightest the Pacific Northwest has to offer, both new and established. Filmmakers from WA, OR, AK, ID, MT, BC, and the Yukon are all eligible to participate which adds a mix of cultures, perspectives and styles for us to enjoy. Just as in years’ past the festival includes short and feature film programs that run the gamut from documentaries to experimental films.
Phoebe’s Father was a hidden gem in 2015, and it’s being re-released now. You should see it immediately.
Released previously in 2015, Seattle filmmaker John Helde is bringing his film Phoebe’s Father back to the Northwest Film Forum to play in its virtual cinema and then become available on streaming formats. This is all good news because Phoebe’s Father is a hidden gem of a movie that affected me deeply.
