It’s no secret that Pittsburgh is filled with creative artists so we feel PUFF is a great time to showcase some of our finest queer filmmakers. “Only in Pittsburgh!” will showcase the queer films made in the ‘Burghs burgeoning film community and allow our audience to see Pittsburgh’s next generation of filmmakers. We teamed up with Film Kitchen and the Indie Oaks Film Festival to present our favorite movies written and directed in Pittsburgh.
