PTFF Focus is part of our year-round programming. Hosted in various locations throughout Port Townsend, Focus events bring together our film knowledge and the goals of the many nonprofits in our community with an aim to amplify those missions and deepen our understanding of the issues involved.

In 2026, PTFF received new support from Jefferson County Community Foundation, Business Guides, and Bell Tower Brokers, making it possible for PTFF to continue this dynamic model of using film as a tool to help our entire community. Special thanks to these new partners as well as our long-standing sponsors: Amanda Steurer-Zamora Realtor, Kitsap Bank, Kristin Manwaring Insurance, and Windermere Agents of Good Roots
