After meeting at our historic courthouse steps, we'll begin a 90-minute cinematic walking adventure through our beautiful Victorian era downtown. Along the way, we'll pause at filming locations from several films including The Ring starring Naomi Watts, Snow Falling on Cedars starring Ethan Hawke, Enough starring Jennifer Lopez, and the movie that put Port Townsend on Hollywood's map, An Officer and a Gentleman starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger. At each location, we'll watch clips on a mobile screen while I tell you fun trivia and behind the scenes stories from their productions. As a former independent film producer and screenwriter myself, I'm happy to answer any and all questions about the filmmaking process. Beyond the films, you'll learn about Port Townsend's unique and fascinating history, and the economic struggles that accidentally led to its current distinction as a "living history museum". We'll make plenty of time for a restroom break and some photo stops as we go.
