Oregon Film Economic Impact, Film and Media Industry, Green, Jobs, Portland, Television , , , , , 4 Comments on Leverage and Portlandia and Grimm – Oh My!

Over the course of Oregon’s 103 year cinematic history, 300+ productions have made use of our diverse locations and home-grown talent pool. However, this summer will be the first time that we’ll be playing host to three television series shooting simultaneously – Leverage, Portlandia and Grimm – and all based in the Portland Metro area.  It’s an incredibly exciting thing both for the city and Oregon’s film and television industry on the whole, but what does that mean for those of us not on set besides seeing an abundance of large trailers filling  the streets near our office buildings?

I do want to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this happen – Gordon Sondland and the film office board, Governor Kitzhaber, the Oregon legislature, Sam Adams and the City of Portland and of course the entire film and video community.  Continue reading... “Grimm Confirmed to Come to Oregon”

Yesterday on the KGW 6:00 news was this piece.  The Portland Police Department has been a great partner on two recent television Pilots – first “Brain Trust” and now “Grimm”.  Having the cooperation of organizations like the Portland Police department make Oregon a friendlier place to film.  Hopefully it’s a winning proposition for the bureau as well.  It was also great to have KGW pick up the story and let’s hope the “Grimm” ends up on KGW’s primetime lineup in the fall!

The Oregon Film office has the mandate to oversee the economic development of the film, television, interactive, animation, and commercial industries in Oregon – with projects and producers that are living and working within the state, as well as projects and producers that are looking to bring their shows from outside of Oregon.
