Hi,

My name is Scott and I have 'lived' in Portland, OR for almost 10 years now. I have actually been homeless on the streets for the last 4 months and just recently met a filmmaker who wanted to shoot a movie/documentary about me being homeless.

It was all filmed in the Hollywood District area including spots in Starbucks, Whole Foods, Hollywood Theatre, Saturday Market, selling Streetroots newspaper, etc. It includes commentary regarding the struggles of being homeless on a personal level
and even has splashes of comedy and some outakes at the end.

We just finished the editing and have a good little 55 minute DVD movie to share. It is titled "Homeless in PDX"

We believe this may be a good story line for some sort of news spot/article/publication/showing/discussion etc.

Any ideas, timeslots, thoughts, or referrals would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks, and let me know.

Scott
