Pittsburgh Neighborhood Narratives will be a series of short fictional narrative films by local filmmakers, each portraying the experience of one of the diverse neighborhoods of Pittsburgh.

Local filmmakers Andrew Halasz and Kristen Lauth Shaeffer are currently looking for filmmakers to participate in the project, first by submitting a treatment by January 1, 2008. Filmmakers whose stories speak most strongly to the personality of their community will then be engaged to write a script and begin production for their short film.

The completed shorts will be compiled for screenings throughout the city next fall, as a way to celebrate Pittsburgh’s 250th year in 2008.
