Dear Filmmakers, we invite you to submit your work for the 16th Annual Port Townsend Film Festival on September 25 - 27, 2015. 

The earlier we receive your work, the lower the fee (and we keep these fees among the lowest in the industry).  PTFF filmmaker alums pay no fee at all.

"PTFF is what I dream about when we make films.  I dream we'll meet living, breathing people who go to our movies.  We'll meet people who have always loved our movies and people who have just discovered them.  This is what heaven must be like, where everybody gets your jokes.  And run like clockwork by grown ups at sea level."  Maggie Renzi

Producer Maggie Renzi was last year's special guest with her collaborator, director John Sayles.  John & Maggie's support has really enhanced our notoriety with the press, filmmakers and regional film lovers.  This enchanted Victoria seaport hosts seven indoor theatres and just for fun, we screen a movie each night under the stars. 

Port Townsend, 60 miles north of Seattle, is a favorite resort destination town. We're a well educated, articulate bunch and we've loved and supported independent film here for 16 years. 

We're at the end of a stunning little peninsula that juts into Puget Sound, adjacent to Olympic National Park and we're surrounded by some of the highest mountain peaks in the United States. Our three-day Film Festival is in our completely walkable National Historic District on the waterfront.

Our juried filmmakers are treated like royalty, with an opening parade, parties, a filmmaker's private lounge (with food & drink), free lodging and free pickup at SeaTac airport.

Some comments from filmmakers:
"The dance party on stage at The Rose on closing night was so fun!"
"Such a beautiful room with a view of the mountains and a one-minute walk to my venue!"
"At 8a.m., the line for my film was around the block!"
