Rogue Makes a Portlandia Beer and Bottle
When Rogue Ales was approached with the idea of creating a special beer bottle to support the IFC show “Portlandia”, without hesitation they said – sign us up! The end result is a special “Portlandia” bottle (bottle artwork is above) which will be available at the “Portlandia” premiere in New York City on January 19. Rogue is also talking to the group planning the Portland premiere next Friday to perhaps provide a few of these limited edition bottles. This is not the first time Rogue has been supportive of the local film and TV scene in Oregon.
Do You Have An Environmental Message, Concern…….Opinion….
……… then this year’s 48 Hour Go Green project is inviting filmmakers to SPEAK UP AND CREATE!
Simultaneously, on February 18th, 2011, in cities around the world , 48 Hour Go Green kicks off. Teams will be given a brief and then have only 48 hours to get their films written, shot, edited and through post (you can secure equipment, actors and choose team members ahead of time but must register prior to the kickoff) before finally submitting for competition. The early bird special expires January 19th.
Portlandia Sketch from “Live Wire”
In December “Live Wire Radio” had Carrie Brownstein on the show and did a fun sketch about “Portlandia”. The full broadcast will air on OPB January 15 and available the day after via podcast.
Put A Bird On It For Charity
Below is some information we picked up from Producer David Cress regarding a fund raising event happening surrounding the local premiere of “Portlandia” on January 14. I’m sure there will be more info on the January 14 Premiere as well as the after party coming very soon so stay tuned. In the mean time, get your bird art out for a good cause!

On January 14th, we will be having a premier and charity event in conjunction with the new IFC television series Portlandia.
“Portlandia” Covered in the New York Times – Good For Business
I found this article in the Sunday New York Times about the upcoming IFC show “Portlandia”. The show is not only proving to be one that the media is interested in covering (it’s been in Entertainment Weekly and many local pubs) but it’s managed to stir up some interesting debate.
Recently IFC smartly put this video up on YouTube from the show. “The Dream of the 90’s is alive in Portland” on the surface seems to make fun of a lot of unique things that exist in Portland.
Polluted Pictures Holiday Party.
Come out and celebrate the passing of an incredible 2010 and to ring in an even better 2011. Portland film is on the verge of doing some incredible things and we want to celebrate! Music, drinks, and entertainment will be on hand all night long.
We will also be presenting sneak peeks of our current features “The Weather Outside” and “Cell Count.” Make sure you come out to see them because they will not be online nor screened again. A special screening for all those who can make it out to the celebration.
A Christmas Gift from “Live Wire Radio”
I went to the recent “Live Wire Radio” show which plays on OPB on Saturday Nights. They recorded two shows – one that will air on Christmas Night and one that will air in January. The January show features Carrie Brownstein and Gus Van Sant (as well as a good skit with Carrie about “Portlandia”). The Christmas show featured singer/songwriter Thao Nguyen who played this song that night. It brought the house down. A gift card Christmas – a true 21st century Christmas song.
Oregon’s Film Incentives: A Good Deal For All
Last Friday our office presented some important information regarding the Oregon Production Investment Fund and the Greenlight Oregon Labor Rebate and those programs’ performance over the last few years. I feel it’s best to share that information on our blog at this point so you all can have a place to find the presented information.
