Last month, OpenThread organized the first Small Press Festival here in Pittsburgh.  OpenThread is a regional arts collective that has been working on events to connect other writers and artists in Western PA.  The Small Press Festival was a month long celebration of the smaller publications here in Pittsburgh including a weekend expo of local small press publications.

Filmmaker Ben Hernstrom has put together a nice little video about the festival for Keystone Edge (a sister site to Pop City Media that focuses on the entire state of Pennsylvania).
