We all know what an impact the film industry has on the Oregon tourism community, whether that’s guests hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (thank you, “Wild”), enjoying the Goondocks (2025 is the 40th anniversary of the release of “The Goonies” and Astoria is celebrating June 5-8 -you know Krisi Reed will be there!), or visiting sites along one of our many film trails, but do you know how to support film?

Tim Williams, Executive Director of Oregon Film, will speak about what they do to promote Oregon, what makes Oregon attractive to film, how to engage with the different players in this space, and what special needs production crews may have.
