There are still a few spots available for this event.
Host a Filmmaker!
Ever wondered what it’s like to experience PTFF from the inside?
Each year, our visiting filmmakers, presenters, and special guests travel from around the world to share their stories with Port Townsend audiences. Many of the most meaningful Festival connections begin around a breakfast table, backyard conversation, or late-night chat after a screening.
We’re currently seeking Homestay Hosts for the September Festival (Sep 24-27) and occasional year-round guest visits. If you have a cottage, ADU, guest apartment, or even a spare room, you could play a direct role in welcoming artists to our community while experiencing the Festival from an entirely new perspective.
Hosting a filmmaker is one of the most unique and rewarding ways to be part of PTFF.
We’d love to continue the conversation with you!
Reach out to christy@ptfilm.org with any questions.

A Piece Of The Puzzle
Curious what our volunteer community has been getting into lately? PTFF volunteers now have their very own newsletter - a space for updates, behind-the-scenes peeks, role spotlights, and stories from the folks who help bring the Festival to life each year.
Last week’s Volunteer Spotlight featured Eirian Stacey, who shared that she joined PTFF because of a lifelong appreciation for the arts and a desire to experience a Film Festival from the inside. “I had so much fun volunteering for my first PTFF last year!” she told us.
