Welcome to Oregon Film
Whether you’re thinking about filming here, or are already neck deep in production, we know how challenging productions can be and we’ll do anything within our scope to make your life easier. We’re here for you baby.
Even if you aren’t in the biz, you’ll find loads of interesting info on the film, video, and multimedia industry in Oregon. It’s a fun, non-polluting, and valuable industry that brings many benefits to the state. Look around and find out what they are.
Why Shoot in Oregon?
A few reasons we’re Oregon and they’re not.
Location Location Location
We’ve got the kind of diverse locations that other regions only dream about. Others can claim it, but we’ve got the mountains, beaches, ghost towns, deserts, lakes, rivers, streams, little towns, modern cities, and lava flows to prove it. Our exhaustive location files are ready to make your vision a reality, and your life a lot easier.
Top Notch Crews
We have a deep pool of talented crew and support personnel. They are professionals who work year round on features, television, and advertising. They know their butt from their elbow and a C-stand from a hole in the ground.
Open Borders
Speaking of crew, we’d love you to use ours, but we don’t guard our borders so you don’t have to figure out how to justify bringing your favorite whoever.
So Close Yet So Far
We’re conveniently close to LA, while being strategically located far enough away to dim the buzz of leaf blowers, traffic, and helicopters. (If you have trouble getting to sleep in peace and quiet you can leave your TV on at night until you get used to it.)
Film Friendly
Like local cooperation? So do we. We’re all about cooperation. Our state and local agencies have film friendly policies and think on their feet.
No Sales Tax
How do you feel about sales tax? Same here. That’s why we don’t have one. Seriously, we’re weird that way. There aren’t any papers to fill out or cards to show to exempt yourself. Oregon has NO SALES TAX! Not bad, eh?
Experience
The Governor's Office of Film & Television has been helping productions find, secure, and utilize magnificent locations for 32 years. We love what we do. Our staff has over 28 years combined experience working with the film industry.
