In this Portland Film Festival, size really doesn’t matter, with each short lasting no longer than 10 minutes with content lying outside of the waking presence of Hollywood. Tony Fuentes, El Presidente of Zonker Films and the major organizer of the PISS Fest event is there literally overseeing the event every step of the way. His no-nonsense hands on approach along with his friendly demeanor makes this event quite welcome.

What makes PISS Fest special this year is the very first Filmmakers’ Panel on the subject of “How to Support Your Short Film Habit by Getting Paying Gigs on Richer People’s Projects.” This event will be on Saturday, October 21st at 1pm. Admission is free with a festival All-Pass or $5 donation, but get there fast because seats will be limited. Programs Two and Three will be playing on Friday, while Saturday will close with Program Four.
