History
The non-profit Port Townsend Film Institute was formed to promote the festival.
With the efforts of more than two hundred local volunteers, the festival made its debut on September 22, 2000. Taylor Street in downtown Port Townsend was closed off three days to make way for a giant Turner Classic Movies outdoor cinema. In the first year, the festival screened 24 documentaries, features and shorts in three venues. Recent years have seen more than 50 features shown throughout the weekend event.
Founders
The Port Townsend Film Festival founders were Jim Ewing, Rocky Friedman, Jim Westall and Linda Marie Yakush, all of them veteran attendees at the Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado. That festival served as the model for the Port Townsend event. The founders began their initial planning in September 1999 and they soon established an organizing committee consisting of Erik Andersson, Nancy Biery, Michael Harvey, Sherry Jones, Peter Simpson, and George Yakush.
