“Phoenix, Oregon” returns to Portland
#OregonMade Film Series presents a comedy of midlife reinvention and the redeeming power of friendship, PHOENIX, OREGON, returning home for its very last Oregon screening date after a tremendously successful 3-month national tour.

The filmmakers will be in attendance to provide an introduction and a discussion of their unique and successful tour as well as a Q&A for this film after the screening.
