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.
