Reception in the Lobby of the Elsinore

Crowd files in for the screening

It was a great evening last night in Salem as the special screening of “Meek’s Cutoff” was bigger than anticipated.  We’re waiting on the final tally of ticket sales but we’re expecting between 400 and 500 total tickets were sold for the event.  Prior to the screening we hosted a reception for several legislators, industry members, and cultural trust board members.  We were expecting about 10 legislators to come to the event but my last count was 16 including Senate President Peter Courtney and Speaker of the House Arnie Roblan.  Continue reading... “Big Turnout for Screening of “Meek’s Cutoff””

Portland Police helps the Wardrobe Dept. for “Grimm”

Yesterday on the KGW 6:00 news was this piece.  The Portland Police Department has been a great partner on two recent television Pilots – first “Brain Trust” and now “Grimm”.  Having the cooperation of organizations like the Portland Police department make Oregon a friendlier place to film.  Hopefully it’s a winning proposition for the bureau as well.  It was also great to have KGW pick up the story and let’s hope the “Grimm” ends up on KGW’s primetime lineup in the fall!
