AudioCinema is hosting our second Independent Film Night on Thursday November 15^th from 7pm until 10pm. This is a 21 and over event. There will be beer, wine and spirits available. 

Portland's Independent Film Night is a monthly event focused on the film maker. We will be showing two one hour blocks of film shorts made by Portlanders. Film makers range from amateur, semi-pro and professional. This is an amazing opportunity to see creative film shorts made by talented people and to socialize and network with people with a passion for art and film. 
Film short genres include but are not limited to Music Videos for local bands, artistic films, documentary, experimental, comedy sketches, as well as short dramas. There is no cover charge. This event is free.

Our café serves organic and sustainable foods only and stays open for the entire event.

My lovely fall sickness seems to be nearly gone (the contagion is for sure), so I'm going to do my best to get out there tonight as several of these people are friends of mine (Atom 13, Malice, Chris Haberman, Phil Ragaway, William Slater – “hottest item not on the menu”= ha!). If so, expect some good pictures this coming week.

Now Non-contagious, Julian
