This Saturday starts a new block of fight classes to kick off 2013!
The first block of classes is Stick & Weapons of Opportunity. This class is a fantastic intro to weapons work that will open your eyes to a plethora of possibilities. The basis of this class is in Filipino escrima and kali, and we’ll explore how this kind of fight work plays on film and television. If you’re experienced in weapons work for film, we’ve still got plenty to explore – you will grow, regardless of skill level. Continue reading... “New Fight Performance Classes”

Without question, those of us creatively engaged in the local film scene are blessed to be able to participate in our growing industry. As we head into the holiday giving season, the NW Film Center would love to encourage OMPA members to become acquainted with a new program we’re developing to help those without a voice tell their stories through the medium of film.
There is an estimated 1,500-2,000 homeless youth in Portland. PROJECT VIEWFINDER is our response to this humbling statistic. Continue reading... “The NW Film Center & Project Viewfinder: From the Streets to the Screen”
I’m professional actor and fight coordinator Kendall Wells.
I’m offering classes in Portland on fight performance for film and television. I’ve been teaching for about nine years, but only recently decided to hold a regular class (twice per month). I have held a couple workshops in conjunction with Cast Iron Studios in the past, including one taught by my mentor, fight master Anthony De Longis. The workshops were a huge success, and all the students have expressed great interest in training more. Continue reading... “Film Fighting Classes in Portland”

Hi,
I’m a photographer based out of Portland and I’ve been working on a new TV series for OPB titled Oregon Photo Adventure. The show features different photographers on each episode providing photographic inspiration and education while showcasing the natural beauty of the state.
The filming for the first season is complete, however some post-production work is still needed before getting the series to air.
Also, please share this link on social media feeds, etc.:

Oregon Film Veterans Katherine Wilson and Philip Krysl (with over 40 years as Oregon filmmakers and 50 Oregon Film Credits between them) mentored 10 students this last year from the U of O into the industry by helping the students produce the couples’ screenplay “Animal House of Blues”. The collaboration with the students began small as a short for credit in a NW Film Class, which then resulted in final projects and Career Center and Journalism Internships. Not wanting to stop there, Student Director/ Cinematographer/ Editor Jay Richardson was supported by the whole group of students from several classes over the summer to create a feature length Documentary and entered the Eugene International Film Festival August 17th, the day summer school ended.
