SUMMER SNAPSHOT, produced by NW Documentary, and directed by Emmy Award winning filmmaker Ian McCluskey will be screening at the 8th annual HollyShorts Film Festival, which takes place August 9-16 at Grauman’s Chinese 6 in Hollywood. The organizers of HollyShorts (www.hollyshorts.com) announced the acclaimed short film SUMMER SNAPSHOT was selected from more than 1,000 entries from 20 countries in competition.
Described as “nostalgic, wistful, perfect,” by the Wall Street Journal, SUMMER SNAPSHOT plays out, shot by sun-kissed shot, an idyllic day at a mountain river where a group of friends spend an afternoon skinny-dipping, strumming guitars, and circling a campfire.

The giclee print is available in an eBay auction through Sunday, August 5. http://r.ebay.com/iNGdP7
Nationally renowned filmmaker Todd Haynes is the subject of a one-of-a-kind portrait that posted today on eBay. This ten-day auction supports a good cause: Haynes donated the giclee print to benefit The Right Brain Initiative’s arts education programming in Portland, Oregon area schools. The print is signed by both Haynes and the portrait’s artist, Steve Cohn. Cohn is brother-in-law to Haynes, and works under the pseudonym Jasper Marks.
It’s been a busy summer for us interns at Oregon Film compared to what most people our age are doing right now: swimming, camping, and vacationing in general. As much as we’d like to take time off and just relax or sleep the summer away, we’ve been filming videos all summer long, working hard to show the people of Oregon, and the legislature, how the film industry has quietly and stealthily been successful both in-front of and behind the cameras.
