FOCUS FILM SERIES

PTFF Focus is a year-round film series that explores important topics using film.
PTFF Focus events help bring increased visibility to your local nonprofit or small business through the magic of film. We see the way documentary and narrative film can personalize the stories behind the issues you’re addressing and motivate audiences to take action in support of your cause. Film is a tool like none other. We want to help you utilize it to reach more people, deepen the understanding of your core supporters, and bring your group together in new ways. Held in the PTFF Office’s Balcony Theater, these intimate events have had a deep impact on many local organizations.
