About Passion to Persist

Passion to Persist

Join us for the premiere of Passion to Persist, a documentary made by former McMenamins artist Hadley Ferguson. The 50-minute documentary will be preceded by a short introduction from Ferguson, with special guest and former Blazer Brian Grant. Afterwards, stick around for a Q&A with the filmmakers. 

Want the chance to rub elbows with the filmmakers, members of the cast and Brian Grant? Opt for the VIP experience! The VIP ticket includes a beverage in the VIP lounge, meet & greet and first choice of seating for the film.

This event is a fundraiser for Passion to Persist. All cash donations received at the event will benefit the Brian Grant Foundation and Parkinson's Resources of Oregon. Ticket sales further the film tour and awareness efforts.


ABOUT PASSION TO PERSIST

Passion to Persist is a film about a highly accomplished artist who remains undaunted in the face of not just one, but multiple, very serious health challenges. The film also tells the story of a remarkable friendship between two women, 21 years apart in age but bound by a diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease, an innate curiosity about medicine and their artistic sensibilities. Their creative accomplishments and perseverance embody the sustaining power of the human spirit.
