There is a lot to read in this issue on the value of the OPIF program, which will expire this year if it isn’t passed by the Oregon legislature. OPIF means jobs for Oregonians in a program that works. All state funded programs deserve a high degree of scrutiny and need to show their value. This program passes that scrutiny, which is why it is supported by business and labor, Republicans and Democrats, and its expansion has been supported by Oregon’s current and previous governors.

The value can be summed up with three points: 1) This is the right industry for Oregon to invest in. Film and television

production is a 21st century industry, it is green, pays 34% higher than the average Oregon wage, and has a broad impact across many sectors and regions of Oregon’s landscape.

2) The impact on jobs is immediate. The OPIF and Greenlight Labor Rebate programs have a direct, immediate impact on motivating multi- million dollar projects to invest in Oregon. The out of state projects that land in Oregon come here as a direct result of the incentive moneys offered.

3) It is the right price. The projects that have been attracted to Oregon by the OPIF program are projected to bring over $276 million in spending in the last five years of the program. Those projects benefited from $32.5 million in state spending to stimulated that investment. The good news is that according to the conservative estimates of the ECONorthwest 2008 study, $34 million is returned to state and local government treasuries in taxes and fees over the same period.

So now that we know it is a valuable program with a win-win impact on Oregon jobs and the state & local treasury, what can we do to help? That can also be summed up with three points, and they boil down to this: BE VISIBLE.

1) Talk with your state legislators about the impact of the film and video projects that come to Oregon on your ability to make a living reinvest your earnings in Oregon.

2) Find out when your local legislators are having town halls, and go to them. 3) Show up on March 15th at 4pm at the State Capitol.

And lastly, buy a hat, T-shirt or coffee mug, such as are on sale at OregonfilmandTVdollars.

Best,

March 15th: Salem Gathering at the State Capitol and Meek’s Cutoff ScreeningVince Porter, Oregon Film office

Many of you have been asking, “What can I do to support the effort to keep the film incentives going?” If you are one of those people, I can now answer your question. There are two visible ways you can show your support.

On March 15, Oregon Film is screening “Meek’s Cutoff” in Salem at the historic Elsinore Theater and we need you to buy a ticket and attend the screening. Proceeds from the screening are going to benefit the Oregon Cultural Trust, so you would also be contributing to a worthy cause. One of the best ways to demonstrate this industry’s importance and impact on Oregon will be by filling up the Elsinore. Having 1,200 supporters from all over the state show up in Salem for this event will have an incredible impact. Can we count on you to help us do that? You can view additional details on the screening at OregonConfluence.com, and you can RSVP at www.ompa.org.

The second way that to be involved and show your support for the Oregon film industry: We need 200 committed industry members and other supporters to be part of a celebration on the steps of the capitol

building in Salem, also on March 15th . Arrive at 4pm to show support of HB2167 and keep the film incentive alive and well in Oregon.

Oregon Film Industry Asks the Legislature to Save Programs that Creates Jobs and State RevenueHB 2167 Will Increase Out of State Investment into Oregon Film and Media Production and Local Economy

With the Legislature seeking ways to create jobs for Oregonians, Oregon’s film and media production industry is ready to offer some answers- expand the successful rebate program that attracts out-of-state investors to film in Oregon and offers Oregonians a tax credit for investing.

“The Production Investment Fund is helping us grow Oregon’s film and video industry in concrete ways,” said David Cress, producer of Portlandia, an IFC original series that parodies Portland and was just renewed for an additional 10 episodes. “It helps Oregon create the demand needed to sustain our growing labor force of skilled creative workers. This industry can be the next Intel of Oregon.”

In addition, the industry supports jobs with spending throughout the economy. According to a 2008 ECONorthwest study, the film and video industry has strong linkages to other sectors of the Oregon economy on a statewide basis. Every 10 jobs in the film and video industry are associated with an additional 11.1 jobs in other industry sectors in the state.

House Bill 2167, which received a hearing in February in the House committee on Transportation and Economic Development, will continue and expand the Oregon Production Investment Fund, a workforce development program seeded with state dollars to attract private capital by providing an income tax credit to Oregon taxpayers who contribute to the fund. The OPIF program is currently authorized to issue up to $7.5 million worth of tax credits per year. If HB 2167 passes, that amount will increase to $10 million a year.

But unlike state programs that only cost money, this one provides positive returns for Oregon. For film or television productions projects to qualify to receive they must directly spend at least $750,000 in Oregon to receive the 20% cash rebate on production-related goods and services paid to Oregon vendors and a 10% cash rebate of wages paid for work done in Oregon. According to ECONorthwest, for every million dollars spent in Oregon by out-of-state productions, about $123,260 in state and local government revenues are generated. By that calculation, in the five years since the program was created, while the State has spent

$32,500,000 to fund OPIF, there has also been a direct return of $34,076,442 to state and local treasuries.

The double win of job growth with positive long-term impact on the state coffers has given the program broad appeal, and an increase is supported by labor and business groups, as well as the Governor.

In addition to the benefits for the state budget, it adds up to real dollars for Oregon’s economy. Spending by out-of-state productions and their employees is directed towards a wide array of businesses, from hotels and restaurants to the less obvious, such as antique shops, which are a source of props, and local contractors who are needed for set construction. The 5-year income through end of 2011 from the projects motivated to shoot in Oregon by OPIF is projected at $276,459,859. Add in the multiplying effect of that money results in $541,861,324 total economic impact on Oregon’s economy.

“The film and video production industry is supporting thousands of jobs in Oregon,” said Tom McFadden, Executive Director of the industry association. “Many states want to attract the bigger long-term productions, and even though Oregon is in the bottom third in terms of the amount offered, the stable structure of our rebate program and the other inherent benefits of producing in Oregon – our locations, cast and crew, and our proximity to Los Angeles make us competitive.”

One recent example is the TNT program Leverage starring Timothy Hutton that begins filming its fourth season (its third shot in Oregon) this month. By the end of next season, Leverage will have contributed in excess of $75,000,000 in direct spending in Oregon’s economy. In last season alone, over 400 Oregon vendors were utilized and 470 local Oregonians were hired as employees that worked over 200,000 hours. An additional $350,000 was spent on background actors.

It’s not just the filming and production that attracts dollars to Oregon. The effect of “product placement” of Oregon locations featured in films stimulates tourism. “Goonies” is a good example of what a film can do for an Oregon town, even 25 years after filming.

A complete list of films shot in Oregon – dating back to The Fisherman’s Bride in 1908, is available at www.oregonfilm.org, and in the SourceOregon.com directory.

For the next twenty years, he immersed himself in the world of tattoos. With his fine art training and drawing on his vast knowledge of art history, the art and cultures of Asia, Polynesia and Mexico, he refined and reinvigorated tattoo imagery which led to an unexpected rise to cult status and phenomenal influence on pop culture.

LOVE, LUST & LIES by Gillian Armstrong, this year’s recipient of the POWFest Pioneer Award. Her body of work includes films that feature strong female characters in leading roles such as OSCAR AND LUCINDA, LITTLE WOMEN, and CHARLOTTE GRAY. In 1977, Armstrong was commissioned by the South Australian Film Corporation to make a documentary about 14 year old Adelaide girls, Smokes and Lollies. It was her first paid job as director. The film explored issues surrounding what it meant to be a teenager and asked questions about sex, family, work and school. Armstrong then developed her own interest in the girls and went back to interview them again and again over a period of forty years at ages 18, 26, 33 and 46. LOVE, LUST & LIES is the fifth film in the documentary series about the lives, hopes and dreams of the three lively, working class Adelaide girls from teenagers in the swinging 60’s to grandmothers in the new millennium. Filled with revelations throughout, this documentary lives up to its title.

Hollywood Theatre Broadens Programming, Events and OfferingsFilm Action Oregon (FAO), owner/operator of

Portland’s historic Hollywood Theatre and supporter of Oregon’s filmmaking community, is proud to announce an expansion in community partnerships that will boost programming, marketing, concession, membership and special event offerings to patrons of the Theatre. “We see 2011 as a very exciting and opportunistic time for the Hollywood Theatre,” said Doug Whyte, executive director, FAO. “Long a pillar of the community, we believe that the Hollywood has untapped potential that can be reached by upping our collaboration with a host of diverse and influential local organizations. By broadening the Theatre’s offerings, it can – and should - be both a hub of activity within Portland’s filmmaking arena, and a sought-out destination for the general movie (and music) loving public.” “We are exploring all avenues of film programming and events that will allow the Hollywood to be a preferred destination by a wide-Portland audience on any given night,” said Dan Halsted, head programmer/technical director, FAO. “People can expect to see some fresh and exciting new films, as well as rare repertory titles, and have the opportunity to be part of some great special events that are being added to the calendar, thanks in large part to our growing community partnerships developed by our Director of Programs and Community Engagement, Justen Harn.” Expanded opportunities included:

Galen Huckins and Filmusik - Huckins is now an Artist in Residence at the Hollywood Theatre and beginning this summer his group, Filmusik, will use the Hollywood as its home base for presenting a new series of live soundtrack and mixed media performances at the Theatre. Filmusik works with sound films by removing and re-imagining the soundtrack, collaborating with film studios to get original film elements for their shows. Sometimes they re-create the entire sonic world from scratch with local actors dubbing a foreign or animated film on stage and foley artists creating the sound effects.

They’ve had local Electronica artists score 1950 s sci-fi, full choruses singing and chanting through desperado westerns, any genre of music and film is fair game. Eventually Filmusik plans to have a weekly entertainment offering at the Hollywood Theatre.

The PSU Social Practice MFA program and the Hollywood Theater are proud to announce a new partnership. Artists from the PSU Art and Social Practice Program will create projects, events and programing in relation to the goals, space and neighborhood of the Hollywood Theater in an effort to bring awareness to the mission of the theater as a non-profit as well as to revitalize the Hollywood as site of creative production and community in Portland. This ongoing collaboration will include designing limited edition movie posters, artists in residence, neighborhood documentaries, curated screenings, discussion series, themed events, musical pairings and more. In addition, as part of the Open Engagement conference this May the Hollywood will play host to artist Fritz Haeg who will create a new project that will be situated at the theater. The Art and Social Practice MFA Concentration at Portland State University, led by Harrell Fletcher and Jen Delos Reyes, educates and activates students to develop and utilize their artistic skills to engage in society and transcend traditional studio art paradigms. Students learn about a variety of working artists and non-artists who have engaged in civic activity, and apply their knowledge and abilities to initiate, develop, and produce participatory projects with the public-- individuals, groups, and institutions.

BridgePort Brewing and the Hollywood Theatre are teaming up to present a three-day music and film festival with special guest curators including Carrie Brownstein of the IFC TV show Portlandia and the bands Sleater-Kinney and Wild Flag. Festival dates are May 12-14. *Beer and cider are now for sale at the Hollywood, and all-ages are still welcome.

Jackpot Records and the Hollywood Theatre are teaming up to present a monthly film series of unique and obscure films. This is an expansion of the relationship that brings the annual Jackpot Records Film Festival to the Hollywood every year.

Grand Detour is now hosting regular screenings at the Hollywood. A Portland collective that presents innovative video and media-related artworks from local, national and international touring filmmakers and curators, Grand Detour is a haven for underground artists, digital methods classes, installations, and community discourse.

Grant High School and the Hollywood Theatre are collaborating to develop and offer educational opportunities to students. Students will utilize the Theatre for screenings and FAO will be available for production training.
