It is with sadness and a deep sense of loss that we reflect on the work of two #OregonMade artists – cinematographer John J. Campbell and actor Robert Blanche – who we have recently lost from our community.
We know how much our work depends on the talent and experience of the community we serve, and John and Robert are exemplary examples of what makes this place so special. Their accomplishments and their connections to all of us are too numerous to list and it goes without saying that we will miss them every day and on every set.

For believing in art and artists, for finding solutions, for fighting for what was right, for helping us find a better way to do things, thank you.

For being passionate about people and stories and causes, for being accessible and constructive, for standing up for friends and strangers alike, thank you.
For dedicating a street, a sign and a bike rack, for always calling with ideas and helping us enact them, for speaking out when many of us wouldn’t, thank you. Continue reading... “Thank You, Commissioner Fish”
The #OregonMade feature film THE MORTUARY COLLECTION will screen prior to its release in the city where was originally shot, Astoria, OR. The screening is free, but a $5 donation is suggested to help The Clatsop County Historic Society – owners of the Flavel House, one of the main locations for the film.
Come embrace the hedge maze of winter when the next #OregonMade installment brings Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING on 35mm print to The Hollywood!
Admittedly, Oregon’s claim to ownership of this film is a little stretched (most of the film was shot in the UK and The Overlook is scripted as being in Colorado) but all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and it’s hard to ignore the place that Mt. Hood’s iconic lodge has in the massive zeitgeist of this film. Continue reading... “#OregonMade Screening Series at The Hollywood Theatre: THE SHINING on 35mm”

The Oregon Dance Film Commission came from the desire to offer a platform for Oregon artists interested in working in the field of Dance Film. ODFC is for artists who have never made a professional dance film but are already established in the field of filmmaking or choreography. The goal of ODFC is for two artists who normally would not have come together to make a Dance Film, join forces, learn what is it to work together, and create a new and unique work.

In modern cinema, visual effects, as they are also called – special effects, are inseparable from almost every new film. They are constantly being improved so much that the viewer will never distinguish computer graphics from reality. With the advent of special effects, the boundaries of directorial imagination and the possibility of realizing it have completely disappeared. The need for complex and expensive decorations gradually disappears, and their place is taken by a powerful computer processor and an animation studio. Continue reading... “Films With Fabulous Visual Effects”
