THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

Local filmmaker Dawn Jones Redstone’s new short film “See Me” premiered at the Portland International Film Festival. It tracks the lives of three Black Portlanders during last year’s statewide shutdown — and how their lives intersect with the chaotic world outside. Jones Redstone and executive producer Kisha Jarrett tell us more about the film and the stories behind it. “See Me” runs at the festival through March 14.
