Sent from his iPhone, our composer Stuart Balcomb reported this morning from the Port Townsend Film Festival: "Our first screening went very well. The Rose Theatre has 158 seats and it was a packed house... good laughter where it should have been, empathy for lost journals, lots of questions at the end. Festival staff is superb. There are 5-6 venues around town, from 350 seats down to 74 seats, and even straw-bale seating outdoors in front of the Rose Theatre for public night screenings, such as "The Black Stallion," which we saw a piece of from our window table while eating before we went to a screening of short films. I'll send more photos and commentary tomorrow. We screen again tonight at 6:15. By the way, Piper Laurie is here with her directorial debut. There was also a private reception last night for her, following a screening of "The Hustler."
