Thank you to all the Brave New World Sponsors

Just wanted to send out a thank you to all the organizations and companies so far who have committed to sponsoring the “Brave New World of Media” event on November 17.

‘Evidence of the Sasquatch,’ to Screen October 27th, 2010

Four filmmakers embarked on a doomed location scout in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. What started as a preliminary scout at the base of the cascades, ended in a bloodbath in the unforgiving wilderness. ‘Evidence of the Sasquatch’ is the film shot during this scouting by the filmmakers. This footage was found and the film was put together chronologically to show what these pour souls experienced in the days leading up to their final moments. This film shows the undeniable truth about the existence of the Sasquatch.

Oregon Episode of Extreme Makeover Airs on Halloween

This Sunday Extreme Makeover Home Edition is airing its episode featuring Oregon’s School for the Deaf.  We covered this production back in September when the show was in Salem shooting the episode.  Here are a few links to those posts:

Word from everyone who participated was that the shoot was a huge success.  The Oregonian recently covered the story with a little more reflection on what the show did for the school.  Here it is. I was particularly struck by two things in the article – the student’s communication skills are up since they took their trip to a special hearing institute in Minnesota and attendance is up this year for the school’s Nightmare Factory which is a big fundraiser for the school.

Spielberg to Direct Film Based on Portland Author’s Novel

Oregon has always been fertile ground for talented writers and many have seen success on the big screen as well.  We have Ken Kesey to thank for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Sometimes a Great Notion”.  OSU alum Mike Rich (“Finding Forrester”, “Secretariat”) has written the screenplays to several successful films recently.    Today there are perhaps more writers than ever who have made Oregon their home and more and more are finding success in the film industry as well.
