I love film and I’ve never been to Mt. hood!
I’m trying to learn more about film making and it would be amazing to see non corporate movies.
I love watching obscure movies. Movies that do not always have a 20 million dollar budget . That is when you truly get to see the love and art that gets put into a movie. Plus I have never been to Mt. Hood so that would be a bonus!
Why do I want to win? I just move to Oregon and it’ make a nice welcome gift!
How fun! It would be an awesome excuse to head up to the mountain and enjoy some indie films!
Never been to a film festival, never been to Mt. Hood. Would love to see both!! Thank you!
I would be grateful to win because my husband kicked me out of Paris and now the only thing that brings me any joy is watching good films. At least if I watch them at a festival, I won’t get bed sores.
I’d love to take my girlfriend to this, because she’s a huge festival kinda gal. Not to mention that I got myself in a little pickle with her and this would be an excellent make-up gesture to make amends… Please Please Please… Pick me:-)
It would be a great suprise date night for my boyfriend and I.
I never get to watch any movies!
Who doesn’t love films?
what an excuse to make a weekend of it in hood river!!
Would love to attend my first film festival. Get me out of the basement!
Sundance? Nah. Cannes? Meh. Give me Mt Hood any day.
This would be amazing! I’d love to go to a film festival at Mt. Hood, how beautiful!
Gives me something to take my mind off the price of gas! :)
would love this!
Independent films are my favorite and I’d love to spend the weekend watching movies.
This sounds really awesome! And I’ve never been to a film festival before…
Films <3 <3 <3!!
Experiences to be shared with family that reveal a side of creativity in real time that offers many facets of intelligence near beautiful mt. Hood.
My fiance and I just moved to Portland from TEXAS. We sold everything and drove trying to find a better life and a place that was exactly the opposite of Dallas. Portland has surpassed our expectations and we are in love with the city. However, as we are still looking for work and leaving of our small savings, we are limited to what we can do around. We would also to love to attend this event to make friends since we don’t know anyone here yet. We also both love film, but we don’t own a tv yet.
I wanna win tickets to have a blast! Duh! Plus free is nice right now :)
I would like to go because I am an aspiring filmmaker and love any opportunity to view others’ works and increase my knowledge of the visual art that is film.
Me and the husband just moved here from Missouri. We live independent films and never had a chance to see then except from our tv… Would live to go!
Need a great date night with my bride! We love independent films! A night or two away from the kids would be great’
Please oh please!! I hope you haven’t already drawn for this, I would love to go and take a friend.
I would like to go!
