YOU ASKED FOR IT!
Post Your Questions and Curiosities!
Northwest Film Forum's 2008 spring gala on April 26th takes its cue this year from the 1950s TV show You Asked For It in which performances, reenactments and documentary films were presented based on viewer requests. Our gala takes its style from the classic kitschy show, and its content from YOUR IMAGINATION AND CURIOSITY!
Make a request or query and you might just get it! Our team of experts, artists and idiots will go far and wide to actually dig up the best requests and answer the most obscure questions for your entertainment and bidding pleasure — to be revealed on April 26.
