Our Films

Since 2015, CFC has produced ten short films through our Script to Screen grant. We also support our members’ independent filmmaking projects through fiscal-sponsorship, cast and crew acquisition, publicity and outreach, resource sharing and more.

Swoon

Swoon is a sweet and raunchy romcom in which a brazen woman with cerebral palsy hires the voice behind her favorite monster erotica podcast to help her recreate a scene—not for sex, but for something that's even harder for her: relaxation.
Director: Allison MoonScreenwriter: Allison Moon

breaking, broken

A love story between two young Black women: Amari, a nursing student who is dealing with deep depression after losing her brother, and Jazz, an overworked herbalist trying to hold their whole world together. What happens when Amari can’t seem to get out of bed and Jazz feels like she’s losing her grip? Jazz, at her breaking point, decides to join Amari in the bed for days as an attempt to re-ground them both. "breaking, broken" asks: What happens when you have to meet a loved one a little more than halfway? How far are you willing to go?

Navidad de Reserva

Navidad de Reserva follows Florencia as she lives through another holiday away from her homeland, customs, family and friends. While also trying to build her own family and accept her new place in the world. But nothing gets any easier when a migratory policy leaves her hanging in an infinite loop, wondering if she’ll be able to make it back home.

BEK

Be careful what you let in. Late on Halloween night, long after the other trick or treaters have gone to bed, a lost little girl appears on single mother Liz's doorstep, desperate to get in.
Screenwriter: Elisa GraybillDirector: Elisa GraybillProducer: Katie Daly

Red Jam

Answering a roommate ad on Craigslist can be a harrowing experience particularly in modern day Portland. There’s no guarantee who you’ll end up with...a saint, a serial killer or a slayer.
