#OregonMade and Portland shot “Night Always Comes” has released a trailer and set a release date on Netflix.

The film has become a bit of a sensation — the second highest grossing picture of 1975, behind “Jaws,” while receiving nine Oscar nominations.
“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” would go on to sweep the “big five” — screenplay, director, actor, actress and picture — the first film to do so in 41 years, (“It Happened One Night,” in 1934) which only “The Silence of the Lambs” has done since.

Oregon based animation company Laika recent spoke to Indiewire about its past, present and future. We’re looking forward to that future and “Wildwood” especially.
From that article:
“Wildwood” is as good of a re-introduction as any. The fantasy film is based on the first in a trilogy of YA novels by Colin Meloy, better known as the lead singer and songwriter for the Portland-based indie rock band The Decemberists. But the project is also right at home for Laika, as it’s set in a secret forest just outside of Laika’s home in Portland and follows a girl whose baby brother is taken into the forest, only to discover an exotic world of talking animals and bandits.
