OPIF Credit Auction is Almost Here!

Oregon is leading the show in film production. There are tax incentives to be had from producing here. What’s not clear is where the funding comes from. Or more precisely why taxpayers would be inclined to contribute to OPIF. Truth is, there are significant tax savings to be had on the giving end (taxpayer) as well as the receiving end (production). In order for Oregon to continue to make available OPIF tax credits, there must be demand for the credits from taxpayers.

“Wild” Set to Film Throughout Oregon in October

Film stars Reese Witherspoon with Jean-Marc Valée directing

A few months back it was announced that Portland based author Cheryl Strayed’s successful memoir “Wild” was being made into a feature film with Fox Searchlight producing and distributing the film. Reese Witherspoon’s company Pacific Standard originally optioned the theatrical rights. Acclaimed director Jean-Marc Vallée (recently directed “Dallas Buyers Club) is directing. Now with just a few weeks to go before principal photography, it appears that the film will cover more parts of Oregon than any other project of recent memory.

“C.O.G.” Made Its Oregon Premiere in Salem

JonathanGroff_DaleDickey — Jonathan Groff and Dale Dickey, C.O.G.

“C.O.G.”, a film adaptation of a David Sedaris work, made it’s Oregon debut last night at the Salem Cinema, Salem’s only independently owned and operated movie theater specializing in art, foreign and independent film.

New iOPIF Application Available Online – Includes Post-production and Video Games

On October 7, HB 3367 becomes law. This is significant in several ways for Oregon’s film, television, and digital media industry. The most obvious change is the increase in the annual amount of OPIF tax credits to $10million a year. (By the way, we’re selling the remaining $4million of tax credits for 2013 beginning on October 21. Here are the details of the tax credit auction.)

What may prove to be just as important of a development, though, are the changes happening within the “local filmmaker” program which is commonly referred to as the Indigenous Oregon Production Investment Fund (iOPIF).
