This week a fan-made remake of “Back to the Future (Part II)” premiered on YouTube. It’s called “Project 88 – Back to the Future Too”, and more than 300 people across nine countries contributed to the DIY remake while abiding by social distancing and quarantine guidelines that were in place due to the coronavirus.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this contest. We had many great submissions and we very much enjoyed watching and sharing all of them.
Because we had a few technical and process glitches at the launch of the viewing period we have decided to expand our awards to include not only the top 10 winning videos that garnered the most combined likes and views, but also a further 8 videos as “honorable mentions” that excelled in one or the other category.

The Southern Oregon Social DisDANCE Film Festival is an effort to bring folks together in a time of social distancing. The call for submissions is open to filmmakers residing in Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Douglas, Coos, Curry, and Lake counties in Southern Oregon or to student filmmakers remotely enrolled in schools located in those counties.
Filmmakers must reside in Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Douglas, Coos, Curry, or Lake counties in Southern Oregon or be a student filmmaker remotely enrolled in a school located in those counties.
Please feel free to share any video you like anywhere you like, but, be reminded, that the vote count for the Top 10 winner comes from the highest “likes” and “plays” garnered solely on this showcase page on the Oregon Film Vimeo site.
Please use #InspirationOregon and, as a reminder, voting closes in one week at 5p on Weds.

How the unemployment system is affected by COVID-19
Since mid-April, about 170,000 Oregonians have filed unemployment claims. During the week of March 15 alone, over 76,000 claims were filed, a number roughly four times greater than the highest weekly rate during the 2008 recession. In one week, Oregon went from the lowest weekly number of unemployment claims in its history to the highest. Unfortunately, the unemployment system was not designed to handle so many claims coming in at once, and it is overloaded.
