IN THEATERS & ON DEMAND JULY 1st
David (David Giuntoli) is left by his fiancé days before the wedding, and Flula (Flula Borg), his eccentrically upbeat best man, insists that they go on David’s honeymoon together: a backpacking trip through Oregon’s scenic mountains. Prepare to laugh when the pair crosses paths with a dazed conspiracy theorist (Brian T. Finney), an attractively charming backpacker (Claire Coffee), and a bloodthirsty predator (an actual wolf) who all partake in a trek that tests their friendship – and their lives.

It’s been nearly a year since Adult Swim Toonami team tapped Hinge‘s Portland-based studio to produce show bumpers and the season finale of Toonami Intruder II, where the show’s venerable host TOM, and his AI co-host SARA, crash land on an unknown planet to find a new base of operations. The episode had something fun for both the hard core fans (who’ve enjoyed the show since it’s beginnings in 1997) as well as the casual viewers. If you want to see the finale again, here it is in full, thanks to our friends at Adult Swim.

“Lean On Pete“, Willy Vlautin’s novel, adapted into a screenplay by writer-director, Andrew Haigh (“Looking”) will film in Oregon this summer.
“Lean on Pete” tells the story of a 15-year-old boy named Charley Thompson, who, as Vlautin’s website explains, is “left to fend for himself by his wayward single father. Charley wanders to Portland Meadows racetrack one day and finds work with a surly, washed up horse trainer. He befriends an aging quarter horse named Lean on Pete, and before long, Charley and Pete find themselves alone in an unforgiving landscape scattered with a vivid cast of characters, desperate situations, and glimmers of hope.”
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.

A group of former college friends and colleagues gather for a ramshackle lunchtime wake at the Cornelius pass roadhouse in Hillsboro, Oregon after learning their friend Keith Larson has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award. Stricken by the sudden news of his mysterious passing they toast drinks in his honor and tell stories of his career to lighten the mood.
