There is excitement building for the locally filmed and produced, “Tracktown”. It is set to premier at the Los Angeles Film Festival next month. The film explores the struggle to find an equilibrium between a world-class running career, and a regular life, inspired by Pappas’ own life. Jeremy Teicher co-produced the movie with Pappas, and it was filmed on location at Hayward Field, Eugene. Continue reading... “NY Times Gives A Shout-out To Pappas & “Tracktown””

There are more than 185 State Parks and waysides in Oregon. I’ve been to them all… or at least everything you can find on a public map. It took me four months of travel, but with the help of Oregon Film and the Oregon State Parks system, I made a music video featuring footage of myself performing the same song in every wooded nook and cranny in Oregon. It was my love letter to my home, and it seemed other people liked it too. Continue reading... “State Parks “Road Sessions” Second Season to Premiere in June”

Seaside – the movie.
After being born and raised in Portland, I moved east for college and film school. I love coming back to Portland to visit family and friends but for the past 20 years New York has been my home. That old cliché that you can never come home again ringed true for me.
My first feature, You Belong to Me, came out in 2008. Since then I’ve been itching to do another feature. And inspired by the resourcefulness of many colleagues (especially NYU film school colleagues, Annie Howell and Lisa Robinson – find their new feature, Claire in Motion, which just premiered at SXSW) I’ve come home to take advantage of Oregon’s natural beauty, talented creatives, and a family beach house at the Coast, to make my next feature, Seaside. Continue reading... “You Can Come Home Again – Seaside, The Movie”
