(Jacy Mairs, Portland, OR, 2025, 90 min, in English) WA State Pemiere!
In the early years of the new millennium, 12-year-old Stevie lives with her single mother and gross little brother in a trailer park on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. She spends the dog days of summer trampolining in the backyard and having jello-eating contests in the kitchen. That is, until she discovers a more adult, alluring world embodied by the older kids who smoke and drink their way through the hot summer nights. A raw, powerful film about being on the painful cusp of teenager-hood, TRASH BABY celebrated its world premiere at SXSW in 2025 and was named an Academy Nicholl Semi Finalist. With its indie rock soundtrack and devastatingly naturalistic performances from young up-and-coming actors, TRASH BABY presents an indelible Pacific Northwest spin on the coming-of-age genre.
To the trailer park kids, this film is a love letter to you. We may have to work twice as hard to be half as good, but the wins earned taste sweeter than the wins bought and the truth is, we will always be hungrier. Im moved by how many people have connected with this story already, and Im honored to make a film celebrating anyone whos ever felt socially unclaimed. Thank you to the artists who paved the way, may we follow in your footsteps and create something just as beautiful for the next generation of trash babies
-Jacy Mairs, director and writer of TRASH BABY

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 rajah@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
