PAM CUT (Center for an Untold Tomorrow) is a hub for independent filmmakers and creatives, offering artist services, screenings, and professional development opportunities.
Summer programming includes classes and camps for youth, with offerings that vary by age and focus on media arts and storytelling.
PAM CUT operates in downtown Portland and hosts events at the Tomorrow Theater in the Richmond neighborhood.
Learn how to turn ideas into illustrated stories in this weeklong camp for youth ages 11–14 that explores the exciting connections between art books, comics, zines, and graphic novels. Guided by teaching artist, ceramicist, and zine maker Erika Rier, campers will discover how images and words work together to tell powerful stories while developing their own unique illustration and storytelling styles. Throughout the week, youth will explore the history and cultural impact of comics and zines, experiment with layout, sequencing, pop-up features, and hand-cut pages, and use traditional zinester tools like copiers, printers, and staplers to create original comics and zines. Through collaborative activities, group discussions, and creative experimentation, campers will build skills in narrative storytelling, character development, and hand-drawn book design, culminating in a final exhibition where they proudly share their work with family and friends and celebrate their creative voices.
