Peripheral Produce was founded in Portland, Oregon by filmmaker Matt McCormick with the intention of creating an outlet for experimental film and video to be purchased and collected by the general public. With small independent record labels serving as a model, Peripheral Produce compiles the work of selected artists and packages it for easy consumption. In 2001, Peripheral Produce began organizing the annual Portland Documentary and eXperimental Film Festival, a five day event that showcases non-narrative film and video from around the world. An annual festival, special guests have included Jem Cohen, DeeDee Halleck, Elisabeth Subrin, David Gatten, and Garrett Scott.
