A few more short films have been added to the Portland HPLFF schedule, and founder Andrew Migliore has confirmed that this will be the last year (at least for now) for the Portland fest...
Call of C'thulu and Dunwich (both part of Project Space Squid), Effulgence (by Jeremy Peterson), Fyren (Keeper of the Light) by Robert P. Olsson and To My Mother and Father (by Can Evrenol) have been added to the 2010 fest, which takes place October 1-3...
Below is Andrew's message in its entirety...
"Yes the rumors are true... I am retiring (or going on sabbatical for awhile). I have been running this festival for 15 years and am out of sanity points. So what does this mean? Well Aaron Vanek has started a satellite festival in LA which will become an annual event. The Portland event is in limbo until I can find someone to replace me. We may have another satellite festival in Seattle and perhaps Austin. Regardless, I will always remain the founder... and the festival will live on and grow. So let us all celebrate H.P. and have a blast this October. cheers"

Sad news, but oddly fitting. 2009 HPLFF seemed slightly "off." Perhaps a change will do some good.
