In years gone by, Moviemaker Magazine lumped together big city and small town to compete for the sought after title of, “Best Places To Live and Work as a Moviemaker”. This year, the magazine has split their list into three components:
Top Big Cities (they define as more than 50,000 residents)
4 Easy Steps to Write a Script…and a few great movie recommendations for inspiration!
If you want to be a filmmaker, a screenwriter, or just need a creative inspiration, read on:
Step #1: Make Popcorn!I’ve created “The Great Movie List”, which I’ll pull from and share some of my favorites due to various reasons. You won’t see many “tent pole pictures” or the blockbusters from Hollywood because you’ve probably already saw them and you may have already watched some of my suggestions.

The new Production Department Building for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Talent, OR, completed construction in late October 2013. On November 19th, OSF Costume Rentals started the monumental task of moving their stock of over 50,000 costume pieces from a rented warehouse in Ashland, OR, their home of almost ten years, six miles down the road to their brand new state of the art facility. The improvements are undeniable, going from about 8,000 square feet to just over 11,000, customized rack systems for hanging costumes, climate control, even floors, a window, the fact that the new facility isn’t a converted lumber mill (the former facility was a space in the old Parson’s Pine mill building)… Continue reading... “Oregon Shakespeare Festival Costume Rentals Moves to New Facility”
Producers Irl Davis and Randolph Sellars are proud to announce the upcoming release of “Polly, The Mystery of Bonney Canyon,” the highest production value book trailer ever produced. Book trailers are still relatively new as a media form. Unfortunately, the bulk of them have been made at a glaringly low production quality with cheap graphics, animated stills, and cheesy music.
We just wanted to send out some post-holiday/pre-festival love to our growing family of members, sponsors, participants and alumni. We’re stoked for the new year and look forward to a killer fifth annual! Eastern Oregon Film Festival will run February 20-22, 2014, in La Grande,OR.

(All these great Oregon pictures were taken by Reese Witherspoon while on location for “Wild”)
It was gratifying that “Wild” shot in more places in our state than any other feature film to date. Reese Witherspoon (“Walk The Line, Mud”) traveled the entire length of Oregon from southern and central regions, up to the Gorge and Portland metro while shooting (author), Cheryl Strayed’s, NY Times best-seller novel, “Wild”. Witherspoon is not only starring in this Fox Searchlight feature, but producing with business partner Bruna Papandrea (“Warm Bodies”, “all Good Things”) under their Pacific Standard banner, and River Road’s, Bill Pohland (“The Tree of Life”, “Twelve Years A Slave”).Continue reading... “Reese Witherspoon’s “Wild” Shot More Locations In Oregon Than Any Other Project To Date”
