Last April, Kate Kelsen's short film Offline was accepted into the Portland Comedy Film Festival.
The festival dates are from October 21st -25th.
Offline will screen during Session 08 on Saturday October 24th, at 8:30pm.
The festival states:
Portland, Oregon is known for being a laid back, fun town, with lots to do. Whether it’s the nature experience, the arts or the wonderful food options, if you haven’t visited at least once, perhaps it’s time you came out here! The Portland Comedy Film Festival is a theatrical screening event on the Film Festival Circuit for international independent comedy films that also recognizes funniest comedy screenplays. The first event was held in 2017 and has been ranked in the FilmFreeway Top 100 with 80+ Five Star reviews. This event was founded by author and retired filmmaker Mikel Fair who worked on location in the Film and Television industry from 1999-2015 while based in Houston, Texas. Mikel and his wife Brooke moved to Portland in 2015 and have been hosting this independent film showcase at Portland State University twice per year.

Due to travel restrictions, I unfortunately won't be able to attend this festival. However, the organizers appear to have found a fun way around the screening the process during these strange times.
The festival circuit website states that the original Summer events were merged with their Fall events and are now going to be screened at a classic drive-in Movie theater in Dalles, Oregon.
A link to the movie theater, about 85 miles from the Portland Airport, can be found here:
