Dear Community,
Because of our generous donors like you, PTFF is able to support local film production, connect Port Townsend to the national diversity of filmmakers, and spark community throughout the year. In this time of division and struggle, these relationships and opportunities to share stories with one another mean more than they ever have.
We want to continue to do more, and we hope you will play a part in making those moments happen. Especially given our efforts to provide free programming and access to free passes, ticket/pass sales alone only cover a portion of our costs.
Please help us share the connection film brings with our whole community with your financial gift today.
Sincerely,
Danielle

DID YOU KNOW?
Ticket sales cover only a fraction of what it takes to present a 4-day film festival, along with other events throughout the year. PTFF’s commitment to affordability means we rely heavily on the generosity of donors and sponsors to make it all happen.
Gifts of any amount are appreciated and honored. Those who give at $250 or above will be listed on screen and in the program of the 2025 Port Townsend Film Festival.
