MMD Newswire: Press Release News Wire

Portland, Oregon (MMD Newswire) October 30, 2009 -- Most of us know someone who collects-at least 30% of Americans do-and we love them anyway. But what drives obsessions such as this? That is the beating heart and prime directive of American Collectors, a verité documentary film that examines the relationship between people and their objet du désir.

One of the featured collectors is Portland's own 
Chuck Palmer, a co owner of Palmer Wirfs Inc. Chuck not only runs "America's 
Largest Antique and Collectible Show", he is an avid collector of prison 
items. His collection runs the full gamut, from books and historical 
documents to nuts and bolts prison items, uniforms, restraints and even a 
prison toilet!

Find out what drives Chuck to accumulate these types of things at the film's Oregon debut, happening as part of the Northwest Film Center's 36th Northwest Film & Video Festival. More information at www.nwfilm.org.

When: Monday, November 9, 2009 at 7PM

Location: Northwest Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium at the Portland Art Museum, 1219 SW Park Avenue, Portland, Oregon.
