NWFF - Local Sightings-The Emergency Pants Collection

The Emergency Pants Collection is the new film from Seattle-based filmmaker William Weiss. The nine films in the collection are the result of four years of work on what was originally designed as a single feature-length piece inspired by the works of Charles and Ray Eames, and by 1970s "Sesame Street" vignettes. Each of the films will be shown for the first time, on brand new 16mm prints.
