OPENING NIGHT GALA DINNER TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE
One of the hottest tickets in town – don’t miss your chance to greet this year’s Special Guests and visiting Filmmakers! Support PTFF by donning a “creative black tie” outfit, walking the red carpet, sipping craft cocktails, and relishing in a PNW feast at this, the annual fundraiser for all of PT Film’s year-round programming.
Filmmakers are in attendance, and both special guests, Louie Schwartzberg and Catherine Hardwicke, will speak on their careers and how film festivals have been integral to their success.
Patron Passes include a ticket to the Gala, but you must still add the event to your Pass by making a ticket reservation. All others are invited to purchase their tickets as a stand-alone event.
Catering by Hills and Valley Catering. Open bar by Bar Car.
Tickets are limited, so please purchase early!
