From Oregon to L.A. and back again | BLACKSTAR WARRIOR
I thought one could only make film in Hollywood. Then, I made a short in Portland and it changed my life.

Indiana Johana Ventures Into New Territory For Student Film
Producers and University of Oregon students Tanner Staab and Claire Williams sought to create a mini series on an entirely new scale, breaking common trends in student film. They wanted an adventure, a show that would not only have appeal outside of the student body, but also take them far from the often-used filming locations around the University of Oregon campus. These objectives soon became Indiana Johana: An Action RPG Adventure.

Featuring locations in the Deschutes National Park, the old-West ghost town of Shaniko, and even Mt. Continue reading... “Indiana Johana Ventures Into New Territory For Student Film”
