** About this film: **
"Feels like I'm still locked up and shit," bemoans Wilder, a man recently released from prison. He fancied himself a badass character from Thelma and Louise; now he's struggling to stay sober, get a job, and be a father for his 6-year-old son. Can't Seem to Make You Mine traces Wilders struggle for self-determination, as he falls into an intoxicating relationship with a stripper he met on a pen-pal website while simultaneously making amends with his ex.
Raw and gritty, Can't Seem to Make You Mine showcases an ungentrified Portland rarely seen on screen, with run-down diners and motels in the mold of The Florida Project. Inspired by the real-life story of co-director Sara Katarina Burke's brother, Tommy, who is serving 7 years in prison and recently became engaged to someone he met on a prison pen-pal website.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forums ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. All doors in Northwest Film Forum are non-motorized, and may require staff assistance to open. Our upstairs workshop room is not wheelchair accessible.
The majority of seats in our main cinema are 21 wide from armrest to armrest; some seats are 19 wide. We are working on creating the option of removable armrests!
We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. Also available at the front desk is a Sensory Kit you can borrow, which includes a Communication Card, noise-reducing headphones, and fidget toys.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at suji@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
