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.
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.
