Welcome to Oregon Film.

Your project can now get up to 26.2% cash rebate when you work in Oregon. Find out more here.

All purchases in Oregon are immediately discounted 7 to 8 percent over other states due to the fact that Oregon has no sales tax. There are not any papers or exempt cards to process. It’s just savings for being here in Oregon.

We post contact information for the feature length and episodic projects we are working with as soon as those are available - those can be found on the jobs section of our blog. In addition, the OMPA publishes a weekly Jobs email for its members.

Gov. Brown has declared Oregon "100% open for business" as of June 30, 2021, and all statewide mask mandates were lifted as of March 12, 2022.

Production is, and has been, welcomed here in the state. We do recommend that productions adhere to a proscribed Health & Safety plan that is mindful of community impact on their cast, crew and their location choices and reflects the mandates currently in place at the federal, state and local level.

Permits are, in general, being issued but most agencies have had a staff reduction during the last few months and therefore permitting may take longer to obtain and/or be issued with additional stipulations or restrictions. This is particularly true for Oregon State Parks.

It is important to note that unions, guilds, local businesses and other jurisdictions may still put further mandates and/or restrictions in place and/or choose to not issue permits or permissions to shoot at their discretion, as has been the case through this pandemic. As an example, Oregon now has a statewide mask mandate.

The OMPA has published a set of Production Protocols that has been developed in conjunction with the local production community and updated as new information is released.

In addition the unions/guilds have recently updated their joint "Return to Work" Agreement that revises recommendations and requirements for fully vaccinated people and testing for on-set safety.

You can find a list of current testing and medical support resources here. Please let us know if there are more resources we should be adding to this list - it is updated regularly.

Please ensure you use all of these resources to develop your own set of measures to keep your cast and crew safe.

Thank you.

If you have experienced harassment in some form on a set or job, or know someone who has, or if you just want to insure your production has its own policy and procedures to follow, you can always contact us and/or contact a third party helpline, or your guild or union.

We have also set up a public facing "All Voices" reporting platform that can be used by anyone. Simply go to the page via the embedded link above, click on "Submit Report" and enter "Oregon Film" under the Company Name.

The State of Oregon has Non-Emergency Bias Response Hotline: 1-844-924-BIAS (1-844-924-2427)

There are also hotlines, links, emails, policy and procedures for reporting harassment or discrimination in our industry on the "Reporting" page of our site.

Oregon Film's office is in the Portland Metro area which rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River creating communities and summer encampments to harvest and use the plentiful natural resources of the area.  We take this opportunity to thank the original caretakers of this land.
