December’s Homegrown DocFest
Stories are meant to be shared, and Homegrown DocFest is how NW Documentary
shares them! At the end of each workshop term our students premiere their
projects on the big screen.
This session’s stories include tales of barbershop quartets, cougar
attacks, female comedians, career waitresses, wild food foraging and
immigrant elders, among others. The ambience of the theater coupled with the
unique perspectives of our storytellers makes for a fantastic event.
