In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rich McNamer welcome Bev Juday, Sue Wright, and Ozy to discuss the Wild Rivers Film Festival, an independent film festival based in Brookings, Oregon. The guests discuss the festival’s origins and its mission to support independent filmmakers by showcasing new, undistributed films. They also highlight the festival’s commitment to youth education, including workshops where kids learn storytelling, production, and editing, culminating in projects like last year’s documentary on traditional canoe building. The festival is evolving into a destination event, attracting filmmakers nationwide while promoting Brookings’ unique local charm. With year-round events, a new movie club partnership with the library, and upcoming workshops, the festival continues to grow its community impact. Listeners are encouraged to get involved through donations, sponsorships, and ticket purchases, helping to sustain its programs and support local filmmaking initiatives.
We encourage anyone with differing views to participate in future Curry Café discussions. If you would like to join the panel, email contact@kciw.org or call 541-661-4098.
